Salt Lake City Intl sits in Salt Lake City, Utah. The field elevation is 4,230.9 ft MSL. It has 4 runways. The longest is 12,002 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Six ILS approaches are published for runway ends 16L, 16R, 17, 34L, 34R and 35.
For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not given. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC assigns something different. That puts you at about 5,231 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in Class B airspace. Expect busy airline traffic and close coordination with ATC.
Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation are on the field. Both carry 100LL and Jet A. If you are planning a stop, call ahead for ramp status and service details. The published remarks also flag bird activity on and near the airport. Special VFR is not recommended here. Expect delays if you need it. There are also wingspan limits on some taxiways and apron areas, so large aircraft should review the current Chart Supplement before arrival.
The airport is near Point of the Mountain. Paragliding activity in that area is a real factor. Runway 35 also has an obstacle note near the threshold. Check the current Chart Supplement and work the arrival carefully if you are coming in at night or in marginal weather.
