Crystal Airport sits in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Field elevation is 869.3 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 3,751 ft. The field is towered. Tower hours are 0700-2100 OCT 1-APR 30. Hours extend to 0700-2200 MAY 1-SEP 30. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and the available non-precision options.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. The airport sits in the Minneapolis area, so expect busy traffic and coordinate carefully with tower and ground. Airspace class is not stated in the facts. Check the current sectional or TAC before you go.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. 100LL is available 24 hours a day via credit card. Taxiway E is closed to aircraft with wingspan greater than 55 feet between taxiways G5 and G6. Yellow cones mark runways 06R and 24L. When the tower is closed, use CTAF to activate the runway end identifier lights on 14 and 32. Use CTAF to turn on the medium intensity runway lights for 14/32 and 06L/24R. The PAPI on 14 and 32 and the VASI on 06L and 24R stay on continuously.
