McKinney NTL sits in Dallas, Texas at 588.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, with a listed length of 7,002 ft. The field is towered from 0600 to 2200. Runway 18 has an ILS approach. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
McKinney Air Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (972) 547-3401 for current service details. The published remarks matter here. The south side of the airport is noise sensitive. Pilots are expected to follow NBAA standard noise procedures. VFR departures from runway 18 need a turn to heading 135 degrees with ATC approval. There is also bird activity in the area.
A first-time pilot should plan for a busy controlled field with specific noise rules and runway-use details. The published notes also say the actual usable runway length does not match the charted value because of a 500-foot extension on the south end marked by a displaced threshold. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. If you plan to arrive near the tower opening or closing times, pay close attention to lighting procedures. Also note the no touch-and-go windows from 0600 to 0700 and from 2100 to 2200.
