Rhode Island TF Green Intl sits in Providence, Rhode Island. Field elevation is 54 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 05/23 at 8,700 ft. Runway 16/34 is 6,081 ft. The tower is open Sun-Fri 0530-0030 and Sat 0530-0000. Three ILS approaches are published for runway ends 05, 23 and 34. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (401) 738-2600 before arrival if you need ramp or fuel details. This is a busy Class C field with frequent flight school traffic and transient jets. Taxiway A has uneven pavement between taxiway M and runway 23. Taxiway V is closed daily from 2000 to 0800 between runway 16/34 and taxiway C. The northeast ramp also needs close attention because parked aircraft and large wingspans can make taxi more demanding. When the tower is closed, lighting is activated on CTAF. The airport also has EMAS at the departure ends of runways 16 and 34. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
