KSTP is in St Paul, Minnesota. The field elevation is 705 ft MSL. It has three asphalt runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 6,491 ft. The airport is towered. Tower hours are 0600-2200 Monday through Friday. Weekend tower hours are 0700-2200.
Two ILS approaches are published here. They serve runway ends 14 and 32. Pattern altitude is 1,200 ft AGL. That puts the traffic pattern at 1,905 ft MSL. Magnetic variation is 0°, so the runway headings in the chart data are already magnetic.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. St. Paul Flight Center is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Expect helicopter traffic on taxiway A near the tower and north toward the approach end of runway 14. Voluntary noise abatement procedures are in effect. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the details before you go.
A few other items matter here. Taxiway B is restricted near the southern corner because of the flood wall obstacle. Deer, birds and other wildlife are reported on and near the airport. Runways 27 and 31 can have hazardous river traffic nearby. This field is also listed as a cold temperature airport. Use altitude correction at or below minus 30 degrees Celsius.
