Reading Rgnl/Carl A Spaatz Fld is in Reading, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 343.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,350 ft on runway 13/31. Runway 18/36 is 5,151 ft.
The field is towered from 0600 to 0000. ILS approaches are published for runway 13 and runway 36. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Reading Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist.
A few operational notes matter here. Runway 13 has an EMAS at the departure end. The PAPI on runway 13 is unusable more than 3 degrees left of centerline. Birds are reported on and near the airport. When the tower is closed, lighting is activated on CTAF. That includes the MALSR for runway 36. It also includes REIL for runways 13 and 31, PAPI for runways 13 and 18 and HIRL for both runways. For clearance delivery after tower hours, contact Harrisburg Approach. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
