Jacksonville Intl is in Jacksonville, Florida. Field elevation is 29.6 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 10,000 ft on 08/26. The tower is open 24 hours. Three ILS approaches are published, with runway ends 08, 14 and 26 served. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Sheltair is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Signature Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For a first-time arrival, pay close attention to the airport’s busy traffic flow. The mix includes airline, military and general aviation operations. The tower notes that a small part of the terminal ramp is not visible from the cab. Do not assume ramp clearance without a positive signal. Bird activity is also reported on the field. Expect wildlife awareness to matter on taxi and departure.
There are a few operational items to plan around. International general aviation arrivals are closed unless prior permission is obtained. Military Air National Guard activity also has specific prior permission rules. Check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if your flight involves anything outside normal domestic GA operations.
