RWY 25L

Ted Stevens Anchorage Intl is in Anchorage, Alaska. Field elevation is 151.4 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is 12,400 ft on 07R/25L. The tower is open 24 hours. Three ILS approaches are published for runway ends 07L, 07R and 15.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives you something different. The airport sits in the Anchorage bowl, so plan for busy Class C operations and stay sharp on taxi instructions. Flight planning in the bowl also uses remote communications outlet frequency 122.55. Noise-sensitive areas are south and east. Turbojet and turbofan departures on 07R, 07L and 15 use close-in noise abatement procedures when safety permits.

On field FBOs include Great Circle Flight Services with JET A and JET A Prist. International Aviation Services carries 100LL, JET A and JET A Prist. Signature Aviation carries JET A. Atlantic Aviation carries JET A and JET A Prist. Taxiway V is restricted to 12,500 pounds or less. Some taxiway and gate areas have jet blast hazards. Portions of taxiway K between H and J are not visible from the tower. There is also a 489 ft unlighted tower 2.5 miles northeast, so keep that in mind on arrival and departure.
