Portland Intl sits in Portland, Oregon. Field elevation is 30.8 ft MSL. The airport has 3 runways. The longest is 11,000 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Five ILS approaches are published for runway ends 10L, 10R, 21, 28L and 28R. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless current airport data says otherwise.
Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (503) 331-4220 if you need current ramp or fuel details. Portland is a busy Class C field with a lot of airline and military activity. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Runway 28L arrivals are noise sensitive. Expect approach to 28R with a transition to 28L when assigned. Hazardous bird conditions are also published, so keep that in mind on arrival and departure.
There are a few ramp and taxiway limits that matter here. Taxiway V, Taxiway W, Taxiway A3 and Taxiway T all have wingspan restrictions. Some aircraft on the northwest ramp are towed. If you are not familiar with the parking setup, ask base operations or request a follow-me. Runway 28R also has a perimeter road close to the threshold, so brief that side carefully before landing.
