Francisco C Ada/Saipan Intl sits on Saipan Island in the Northern Mariana Islands. Field elevation is 214 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 07/25 at 8,699 ft. Runway 06/24 is 7,001 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. One ILS approach is published for runway 07.
Pattern altitude is not published in the usual way for this field. The Chart Supplement gives 1,200 ft MSL for small aircraft. It gives 1,700 ft MSL for large and turbine-powered aircraft. Prior permission is required from the Commonwealth Ports Authority before arrival. The airport is also closed to unscheduled aircraft operations with more than 30 passenger seats unless prior permission is granted. Customs and immigration are available during scheduled operations. If you need them outside those times, arrange it ahead of time.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts provided. Plan on calling the airport operator or the field directly for current handling and services. Runway 06/24 is listed as taxiing only when 07/25 is available. That matters for planning because 07/25 is the primary landing and takeoff runway. For a first-time arrival, verify permission, customs status and the current runway use before you launch.
