RWY 25

Cincinnati Muni/Lunken Field sits in Cincinnati, Ohio. The field elevation is 481.6 ft MSL. It has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 6,101 ft on 03/21. The tower is open 0700-2300. One ILS is published for runway 21. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a busy controlled field with Cincinnati approach and departure frequencies in use. The airport also has a few operational notes worth having in mind before you taxi. Runway 07/25 has published limits for some passenger-carrying operations. Taxiways D, E, G and H are closed to unscheduled aircraft operations greater than 30 passenger seats. Taxiway H is not visible from the tower, so ground control matters there. The airport also notes that runways 21 and 25 are close together. Verify the runway with a compass heading before departure.

Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Waypoint Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. A plus fuel is available. The beacon is 1.7 NM east of the airport reference point. If you are flying at night or in marginal weather, check the current Chart Supplement for the latest lighting notes and any runway-specific restrictions before you go.
