General notes
- All turbine engine run-ups require prior airport approval. Contact the manager on duty at (408) 392-3500.Show FAA
- Taxiway Z will be periodically restricted to aircraft with a wingspan of less than 118 feet, such as a B-737-900 or smaller, during B-787 and B-747 operations. Taxiway Z between 200 feet northwest of taxiway H and 200 feet northwest of taxiway K is limited to aircraft with a wingspan of less than 135 feet, such as a B-757-300 or smaller.Show FAA
- Curfew hours are 2300 to 0700 for FAR 36 Stage II and 2330 to 0630 for FAR 36 Stage III aircraft listed on the schedule of authorized aircraft issued by the director of aviation. Delayed scheduled flights and alternate or emergency operations may be exempt from curfew hour restrictions.Show FAA
- High intensity light activity: High intensity lights, including lasers and large media screens, may be visible to arrival and departure aircraft to San Jose International Airport during events at the Levi Stadium complex located at 37-24-15N 121-58-14W, SJC VORTAC radial 303 at 2.1 DME. Flight crews should use caution when operating in this area during stadium events. Cockpit illumination and glare effect reducing vision may be intensified during arrival and departure operations especially at night.Show FAA

Two ILS approaches are published here. They serve runway ends 12R and 30L. The published traffic pattern altitude is 942 ft AGL for single-engine aircraft. It is 1442 ft AGL for multi-engine and turbine-powered aircraft. That is the number to brief, not a standard 1,000 ft pattern.
Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Signature Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For current ramp or service details, call the FBO directly.
This is a busy Class C airport with heavy airline traffic. Expect close attention to taxi instructions. Taxiway restrictions can apply during large aircraft operations. Birds are frequently reported in the area. Night arrivals can also pick up glare from stadium lighting near Levi Stadium during events. Runway 30L has a published note on the PAPI. It is unusable beyond 7 degrees from runway centerline. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go for any curfew or noise restriction details. Also check it for the latest operating notes.
