RWY 10

Syracuse Hancock Intl is in Syracuse, New York. The field elevation is 421.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 9,013 ft on 10/28. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 10 and 28.

For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you near 1,421 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport is busy and has a mix of airline, business and military activity. All transient aircraft require a noise abatement briefing. No transient aircraft parking is permitted on the main terminal ramp. Heavy aircraft should call ahead for parking. The military ramp has nonstandard markings, so taxi carefully if you are unfamiliar with the field.

Freeman Jet Center - Syracuse is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Million Air Syracuse is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are arriving outside normal business hours or need parking help, call the airport operator or the FBO directly before departure. Runway 33 has nonstandard markings. The aiming point markings sit 1,340 ft from the approach end. Runway 28 shares its RVR sensor with runway 33, so expect the field to manage operations with that in mind.
