Lubbock Preston Smith Intl sits in Lubbock, Texas. The field elevation is 3,282.4 ft MSL. It has 3 runways. The longest is 17R/35L at 11,500 ft. The airport has a control tower. Tower service is 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 17R and 26.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you fly. The airport is in Class C airspace. That matters for arrival planning, radio work and sequencing with the tower. Expect a busy environment for a regional airport of this size. The field elevation is high enough that density altitude can matter on warm Texas days. Performance planning should be part of the brief.
Million Air Lubbock is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also note numerous birds on and near the airport. That is worth keeping in mind on taxi, departure and approach. Passenger terminal ramp access is restricted and requires prior permission. Call the airport at 806-775-2044 if you need that area. Runway 17L/35R is limited to general aviation aircraft 12,500 pounds or less. Taxiway and ramp weight limits also apply. Verify your route before taxiing.
