Aurora State Airport sits in Aurora, Oregon. The field elevation is 199.6 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 5,003 ft long and paved with asphalt. The tower is open daily from 0700 to 2000. One ILS approach is published for runway 17. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is a common starting point. Verify the published pattern and local procedure before arrival.
Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport sits in a busy part of the Portland area, so expect frequent straight-in instrument traffic to runway 17. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. The sensitive areas are north of runway 17, southeast of runway 35 and southwest of runway 35. Avoid low overflights over nearby residential areas whenever practical. Runway 35 is the calm wind runway. Medium intensity runway lights are available. VASI is available for both runway ends. The airport also has an omnidirectional approach lighting system for runway 17. Watch for birds, coyotes and deer near the field. Runway 17 has a power line about 2,100 ft from the threshold. It is marked by balls.
