RWY 34R

Northwest Arkansas Ntl sits in Fayetteville, Springdale and Rogers, Arkansas. Field elevation is 1,288.2 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 8,801 ft. It is a towered field with the tower open from 0530 to 2300. KXNA has ILS approaches to runway ends 16L and 34R. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if it matches current published guidance.

Regional Jet Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call (479) 205-1100 for current service details. The published remarks also note bird activity in and near the airport. When the tower is closed, the lighting setup for 16L and 34R is still usable from the CTAF. Precision approach path indicators for 16L and 34R operate continuously. For fuel service, use frequency 130.05.

This is Class C airspace. Expect busy airline and business traffic. The field elevation is high enough that summer density altitude can matter for takeoff performance. Watch the elevated threshold lights on 16L and 34R. If you need clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC before departure. Check the current Chart Supplement for any airspace notes tied to the airspace letter referenced in the remarks.
