Tacoma Narrows is in Tacoma, Washington. The field elevation is 294.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 5,002 ft long. The airport is towered from 0800 to 2000. When the tower is closed, use CTAF for lighting activation. The airport has one ILS approach to runway 17.
Pattern altitude is 1,294.8 ft MSL. That is 1,000 ft AGL. The field sits close to sea level for the region, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. Local traffic can still be busy. Noise abatement procedures are in effect as directed by the airport manager. Deer are on and near the airport, so keep an eye out on taxi and takeoff.
PAVCO Flight Center is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A Prist. The airport remarks also note that pilots must bring their own tiedowns. If you need customs, the published remarks list a contact number. If you are flying in after tower hours, check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the lighting and clearance details before departure.
