Mc Allen Intl is in Mc Allen, Texas. The field elevation is 107.2 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 7,120 ft. The airport has a control tower. Tower hours are 0600 to 0000.
Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 14 and 32. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. McCreery Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (956) 627-1990 for current service details.
A few operational notes matter here. Birds are reported seasonally in and around the airport. Runway 18/36 is not available for certain scheduled passenger operations with larger aircraft. Taxiway C between C2 and the approach end of runway 18 is not visible from the tower. Runway 18 has an out-of-service PAPI. When the tower is closed, use the published lighting activation procedures on CTAF. Noise abatement is active from 2300 to 0600. Jet and large prop training is prohibited during that window. Departing aircraft are expected to fly runway heading until 1,000 ft AGL before turning.
