Tri-Cities Airport is in Pasco, Washington. The field elevation is 410.3 ft MSL. It has three asphalt runways. The longest is runway 03L/21R at 7,707 ft. The tower is open from 0600 to 2200. When the tower is closed, lighting is activated on the common traffic advisory frequency. Runway 21R has an ILS. Pattern altitude is 1,500 ft MSL for turbine aircraft. All others use 1,000 ft MSL.
Bergstrom Aircraft is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. After-hours fuel is available by calling the FBO. A call-out fee applies. The airport sits in the Tri-Cities area. Expect a busy mix of local traffic, IFR arrivals and turbine operations. The published remarks also call out bird activity in spring and fall. That matters here. Plan for wildlife awareness on taxi, takeoff and approach. Runway 21R also has a tower obstruction noted near the threshold, so brief the displaced threshold and the approach path before arrival. Taxiways G, G1 and E2 have weight and gear-width limits. Larger aircraft should check those limits before taxiing.
