RWY 22

LaGuardia Airport is in New York, New York. Field elevation is 20.7 ft MSL. It has two runways. Both are 7,002 ft long. The tower is open 24 hours. The field sits under Part 93 special air traffic rules, so this is a high-density airport with a prior reservation requirement. Check current procedures before you go.

Runway 04/22 and runway 13/31 both have ILS approaches available. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives you something different. That puts the pattern at about 1,021 ft MSL based on the published field elevation. The on-field FBO is Modern Aviation. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For a first-time arrival, pay close attention to the published runway and taxiway notes. Taxiways G, P, R and U have tight turn and straight-speed limits. Taxiways F and D west of BB are closed to aircraft with wingspans over 125 ft. Runway 04/22 also has a deck-over-water section on the northeast end, so winter braking can vary there. Magnetic anomalies are also noted on extension runways 13 and 22. This is a busy Class B environment. Get the current Chart Supplement and coordinate closely with ATC.
