ST PETE-CLEARWATER INTL sits in St Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida. Field elevation is 10.7 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. Runway 18/36 is the longest at 9,730 ft. Runway 04/22 is 6,000 ft. The tower is open 0600-2300. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 18 and 36.
For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 1,011 ft MSL here. The airport is busy enough to pay attention to taxi and runway assignment, especially with the long north-south runway and the shorter crosswind runway.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Sheltair is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport has published noise-sensitive areas north of the field. There is also a published noise abatement requirement for touch-and-go landings on runway 18 and departures from runway 36. Birds are reported on and near the airport. Lights on the highway north of the airport may be mistaken for runway lights, so brief that on arrival. Check the current Chart Supplement for any current noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
