Truckee-Tahoe (KTRK) has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 11/29 at 7,001 ft by 100 ft. The other runway is 02/20 at 4,654 ft by 75 ft. No ILS runway ends are published in the facts. The field elevation is 5,904.3 ft MSL, so density altitude planning matters here.
The airport has a control tower. Published tower hours run seasonally, from 0700 local through 1800 to 2000 local depending on date. Runway 02/20 has right traffic for runway 20. Noise abatement rules are in effect. Published notes call for avoiding flight over residential areas north, west and south. A voluntary curfew also applies. No engine starts, arrivals, or departures are allowed from 2200 to 0700 unless prior permission is required or the flight is a lifeguard or fire fighting operation. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest published details before you go.
