Portsmouth Intl at Pease sits in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Field elevation is 100.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 16/34, which is 11,322 ft long. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published, one for each runway end. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you fly. The published remarks show a busy field with prior permission required for transient aircraft. You also need to call ahead at least 72 hours in advance. Customs is available around the clock, but it must be arranged in advance. Port City Air is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The field has noise-sensitive areas off both ends of the runway. There are also published departure and arrival procedures that matter here, including runway preference and a no-touch-and-go window overnight. If you are new to KPSM, plan for a controlled airport with full-time tower service, long pavement and a need to coordinate before arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and call the airport operator or Port City Air directly for the latest procedures before you go.
