Felts Fld sits in Spokane, Washington. Field elevation is 1,956.7 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 4,499 ft on 04L/22R. The tower is open 0600-2000. One ILS is published for runway 22R. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Aero Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (509) 534-7371 for current service details before you go. The field has a mix of asphalt and concrete runways. Runway 04L/22R is the longer concrete strip. Runway 04R/22L is 2,650 ft asphalt.

There are a few operational items worth planning for. Aircraft with tail heights over 20 ft must contact the tower before taxi. The tower cannot provide ATC service on the perimeter taxiway because of uncontrolled ground traffic. Portions of taxiway B are not visible from the tower. Waterfowl and birds are reported on and near the airport. Cold weather can also matter here. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 15 degrees Celsius. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach FSS, Spokane Approach can be contacted at 509-742-2522.
