Valley Intl sits in Harlingen, Texas. The field elevation is 36.3 ft MSL. It has three asphalt runways. The longest is 9,400 ft on 18R/36L. The airport is towered from 0600 to 0000. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 18R and 36L.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits in Class C airspace. Expect busy radio work around the towered hours. Migratory birds are reported on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival. Lighting is available from dusk to dawn. When the tower is closed, the MALSR can be activated on 18R, 31 and 36L by using CTAF.
Sun Valley Aviation is on the field. Gulf Aviation is on the field too. Both carry 100LL and Jet A. For clearance delivery when the tower is closed, contact Corpus Approach. Runway 18L is unusable beyond 7 degrees right of centerline. Aircraft over 126 ft need prior permission. Check with the airport operator before arrival if your operation is near that limit.
