Lancaster Airport sits in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 402.6 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 6,933 ft. Tower hours are 0600 to 2300. One ILS is published for runway 08. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
LNS Alliance Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you need fuel or ramp details, call them at (717) 735-9507 before you go. The published remarks also matter here. Runway and taxiway conditions are not maintained outside aircraft rescue and fire fighting coverage hours. When the tower is closed, runway and taxiway lighting is unmonitored. Runway 08 has an obstacle clearance note on approach. Runway 26 does too.
For a first-time arrival, pay attention to the tower schedule and the lighting setup after hours. The airport also publishes Harrisburg Approach as the contact for clearance delivery when the tower is closed. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field. Expect a controlled airport with active traffic. Plan your arrival with the published frequencies and runway layout in mind.
