Rochester Intl is in Rochester, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,317.4 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 9,034 ft on runway 13/31. The other runway is 03/21 at 7,301 ft. The airport has a control tower. Tower hours are 0500 to 2300.
ILS is available on runway ends 13 and 31. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (507) 282-1717 for current service details.
A few published remarks matter here. 100LL is available 24 hours with credit card payment. Waterfowl are present on and near the airport. When the tower is closed, snow removal personnel monitor CTAF. The airport also publishes after-hours access rules for larger unscheduled aircraft between 2300 and 0500. Rochester is a busy controlled field, so plan for towered operations, taxi instructions and current approach lighting use. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
