Pittsburgh Intl is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 1,202.9 ft MSL. The airport has 4 runways. The longest is 11,500 ft on 10R/28L. The tower is open 24 hours. Five ILS approaches are published for runway ends 10L, 10R, 28L, 28R and 32. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL only if current local guidance supports it.
Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (412) 472-6700 for current ramp and fuel availability. The airport sits inside the Pittsburgh metro area. Expect busy airline and business traffic. The field is also at a higher elevation than many eastern airports. Performance planning matters on warm days.
A few published remarks matter on the ground. Right turns are not authorized at taxiway G where it meets runway 10L/28R. Taxiway Z between taxiway P and Hangar 7 apron is limited to aircraft with wingspan 118 feet or less. The tower can authorize line up and wait on 28L at taxiway P during darkness. If you are new to KPIT, review the current Chart Supplement and be ready for a complex taxi environment.
