McNary Field is in Salem, Oregon. The field elevation is 213.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,811 ft on runway 13/31. The tower is open 0700-2100. One ILS is published for runway 31.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Salem Aviation Fueling is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Noise abatement is active here. Avoid overflight of residential areas. Rotary wing traffic has its own procedures. Bird activity is also a factor, with waterfowl in the area. Trees and rising terrain sit west and south of the airport. Trees are also on the extended centerline for runway 16. Night operations are not recommended on both runways.

If you are arriving in a piston airplane, plan ahead for the tower hours and the published lighting setup when the tower is closed. Runway 31 has MALSR. Runway 13 has omnidirectional approach lighting. Runway end identifier lights are out of service on runway 16. The precision approach path indicators for runways 16 and 34 are out of service indefinitely. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go if you need the latest operating notes.
