Washington Dulles Intl sits in the Washington, District of Columbia area. The field elevation is 312.3 ft MSL. It has four runways. The longest runways are 11,500 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Seven ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so light piston pilots should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless current instructions say otherwise.
This is a busy Class B airport environment, so expect heavy airline traffic and close coordination on the radios. Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation are on the field. Both carry 100LL and Jet A. For itinerant service, the airport remarks say to contact the FBO on 122.95 or 129.77. The airport also notes that pushbacks and power from apron positions need MWAA ramp tower clearance. Taxi and ground movement can be tight. Taxilane C is active. North side pushbacks from the midfield terminal are normally onto taxilane D unless told otherwise.
The published remarks also flag birds and deer in the area. Flight training is prohibited between 2200 and 0700. Runway 01C uses LED approach lighting, which matters for EFVS crews. If you are planning a stop here, check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current restrictions before departure.
