Palm Beach Intl is in West Palm Beach, Florida. The field elevation is 19.6 ft MSL. It has three asphalt runways. The longest is 10,001 ft on 10L/28R. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published. They are on runway ends 10L and 28R.
For pattern work, use the published pattern altitude if you have it from the current FAA Chart Supplement. The facts here do not publish one, so verify before you go. The airport sits in a busy South Florida airspace environment. Expect a lot of traffic and stay sharp on taxi instructions.
On the field you will find Signature Aviation North, Signature Aviation South, Atlantic Aviation and Jet Aviation Palm Beach. They carry 100LL and Jet A. Jet Aviation Palm Beach also carries Jet A Prist. If you need fuel or ramp details, call the FBO directly before departure.
A few published remarks matter here. Taxiway L sits between 10L/28R and 10R/28L. It is wider and longer than runway 10R/28L, so do not mistake it for a runway. Runway 28L and 28R thresholds are staggered by 5,400 ft. The airport also notes nonstandard safety areas on 14/32 and 10L/28R. Review the current Chart Supplement before flying in, especially if you are planning a larger aircraft or a night arrival.
