Reno/Tahoe Intl sits in Reno, Nevada at 4,414.9 ft MSL. It has three concrete runways. The longest is 17R/35L at 11,001 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published for the 17R and 35L ends. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL for single-engine aircraft, which is 5,214.9 ft MSL. Multiengine, turboprop and jet traffic uses 1,000 ft AGL.
Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Stellar Aviation of Reno is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Reno is a noise-sensitive field in all quadrants. Turbojet crews should use the recommended noise abatement procedures on request. Non-turbojet pilots should use the best noise abatement settings they can. Avoid populated areas when practical.
This is a busy Class C airport with NORCAL approach frequencies in use. High elevation matters here. Expect performance planning to matter on departure and arrival. Glider and soaring activity can also be present south of the airport during VFR mountain-wave conditions from 1100 to sunset.
