Palm Springs Intl (KPSP) has 2 runways. Both are asphalt. The longest runway is 13R/31L at 10,000 ft by 150 ft. The shorter runway is 13L/31R at 4,953 ft by 75 ft. Runway headings are 143° and 323° magnetic for both strips. No ILS runway ends are published in the facts provided.

This is a towered field. The control tower is open from 0600 to 2300. Noise abatement is a key operational note here. The airport notes a noise sensitive area in all quadrants. Quiet flight procedures are requested. Lengthy engine idling and run-ups on the ramp area are prohibited. Pilots should be ready to work with airport operations or the duty supervisor if noise mediation guidance is needed.

Traffic pattern

The pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC gives different instructions. Field elevation is 476.6 ft MSL, so that puts the standard pattern near 1,476.6 ft MSL. Runway 31R uses right traffic. Runway 31L also uses right traffic. The field is towered, so ATC sequences the pattern. Expect tower instructions to drive runway assignment and traffic flow. Keep the noise sensitive area in mind in all quadrants. Quiet flight procedures are part of the local operating picture.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
