Wilmington Intl sits in Wilmington, North Carolina. Field elevation is 31.7 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 8,016 ft on 06/24. Runway 17/35 is 7,754 ft. The tower is open 0600-2300. Three ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 06, 24 and 35.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks also call out different pattern altitudes for reciprocating aircraft versus turboprops and jets. Overhead traffic is also published with a five-mile initial at 2,500 ft AGL and a break at 2,000 ft AGL. The tower calls the break direction. Carrier break is not authorized.
Two on-field FBOs are listed. Modern Aviation carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A PRIST. Aero Center carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A PRIST. For runway use, note the published weight limits and pavement classification ratings on both runways. Runway lighting is well equipped. MALSR is on 24 and 35. REIL is on 06 and 17. PAPI is on 06, 17 and 24. Taxiway lights are on CTAF. If you need clearance delivery and cannot raise Flight Service, the remarks say to contact Washington ARTCC.
