Palm Springs Intl is in Palm Springs, California. Field elevation is 476.6 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 13R/31L at 10,000 ft. The control tower is open from 0600 to 2300. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 1,500 ft AGL for large aircraft. Pattern altitude is 1,000 ft AGL for small aircraft. That matters here because the airport sits in a noise-sensitive area in all quadrants. Fly quiet and keep the published restrictions in mind. Formation landings, formation takeoffs and overhead maneuvers are not permitted. Runway 13R is the calm wind runway. There is rising terrain north of the approach end of runway 13R. Runway 31L PAPI is unusable beyond 4 NM from the threshold because of mountainous terrain.
Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation are on the field. Both carry 100LL and Jet A. When the tower is closed, use CTAF for the published lighting setup. Taxiway E is not lighted when the tower is closed. U.S. Customs is available 24 hours with 4 hours prior notification. Access to and from the FBO ramp via taxiway G is limited to aircraft with wingspan under 40 feet. Do not mistake center taxiway C for runway 13R/31L.
