Jackson Hole Airport sits in Jackson, Wyoming. The field elevation is 6,451.3 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 6,300 ft asphalt. The airport is towered. Tower hours are 0700-2130. There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 19. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Jackson Hole Flight Services is on the field. It carries AVGAS_100LL, JET_A and JET_A_PRIST. The airport is a cold temperature field. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 21 degrees Celsius. Noise abatement procedures are in effect for departures on runway 19. There are 35-foot to 53-foot trees 700 to 800 feet west of the threshold of runway 01. The pavement classification rating is 508/F/C/X/T.
This is a high-elevation mountain airport, so performance planning matters. Expect density altitude to be a real factor in warm weather. The airport also has a paved safety area beyond the departure end of runway 19. It is not usable for performance calculations. When the tower is closed, use the published lighting activation procedures on CTAF. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional operating notes before you go.
