Pensacola Intl is in Pensacola, Florida. Field elevation is 120.9 ft MSL. The airport has 2 runways. The longest is 7,004 ft on runway 17/35. The tower is open 0530-2300. KPNS has ILS approaches to runway ends 17 and 26. The published traffic pattern altitude is overhead 1,500 ft MSL. For light piston traffic, that works out to about 1,000 ft AGL based on the field elevation.
On the field, Pensacola Aviation Center carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Innisfree Jet Center also carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are planning a helicopter arrival, the published remarks say to contact Pensacola Aviation first. Helicopter parking is west of the Pensacola Aviation ramp.
A few local items matter here. Birds are reported on and near the airport. Runway 08 has trees close in on the right side before the threshold. Runway 17 has a tall tower left of centerline. Fixed wing VFR departures are published to continue to the airport boundary before turning unless ATC says otherwise. Runway 08 approaches can be confused with Saufley Field Naval Outlying Landing Field, which is 7 miles west. The field is in Class C airspace. Plan to work the tower and approach control as published.
