RWY 26

KTWF is in Twin Falls, Idaho. The field elevation is 4,153.4 ft MSL, so density altitude can matter here on warm days. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 08/26 at 8,704 ft. Runway 12/30 is 3,224 ft.

The tower is open from 0600 to 2100. Runway 26 has the published ILS. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 5,153 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation.

Jackson Jet Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The remarks also note that runway 26 and runway 12 do not have line of sight to each other. Taxiways G, H, J and K are non-aviation controlled movement areas. Runway 12/30 is also listed as a non-aviation controlled movement area.

This is a towered airport with published approach control and departure frequencies. If you are arriving at night or outside tower hours, note the lighting procedure for runway 26 and the runway 08 lights on CTAF. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or operating restrictions before you go.
