El Paso Intl sits in El Paso, Texas at 3,961.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 04/22 at 12,020 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 04 and 22. The field is in Class C airspace, so expect normal tower and approach coordination on arrival and departure.
Pattern altitude is not published in the usual way for this field. The published traffic pattern altitudes are 1,038 ft AGL for small aircraft, 1,542 ft AGL for turbojets and 2,042 ft AGL for overhead approaches. That is worth checking before you join the pattern.
Million Air is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Atlantic Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. If you need fuel at the military ramp, contact Atlantic Aviation on 122.95 or by phone before you taxi over.
Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Contact the tower for details. The published remarks also note that some taxiways are not visible from the tower. Taxi carefully and expect close tower coordination on the ramp. Runway 08L/26R is not available for certain large scheduled or passenger-carrying Part 121 and Part 380 operations. High field elevation also means performance planning matters. That is especially true on hot days.
