Tuscaloosa NTL sits in Tuscaloosa, Alabama at 169.9 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 04/22 at 6,498 ft. Runway 12/30 is 4,000 ft. The field has a control tower. Tower hours are 0700 to 2000. When the tower is closed, use the published CTAF and follow the lighting instructions in the Chart Supplement. The airport has one ILS approach. It is for runway 04.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the working pattern at about 1,170 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport has two on-field FBOs. Dixie Air Services carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Ascension FBO carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist.
This is a controlled field with active traffic and published bird and deer activity in the area. Runway 12/30 is lighted as a visual runway. It also has operating limits for some airline and charter operations, so large aircraft should verify the current Chart Supplement before planning in. For clearance delivery when the tower is closed, contact Birmingham Approach. If you are new to KTCL, expect a busy towered environment with a long primary runway and a shorter crosswind option.
