Niagara Falls Intl sits in Niagara Falls, New York. Field elevation is 592.3 ft MSL. It has 2 runways. The longest is 10/28 at 9,826 ft. The airport is towered. The tower is open 0700-2300. One ILS approach is published for runway 28.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is busy. Published remarks call out extensive aircraft activity around the US and Canadian falls at all altitudes. Expect a lot of traffic in the area.
Calspan Air Services is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport also notes SP fluids are available. Runway 10/28 has a grooved surface except for the last 900 ft of the rollout end on runway 28. Taxiways A, A1, A2, A3, M and L are non-movement areas, so brief your ground handling carefully. This is a good airport to review for tower procedures, runway selection and traffic flow before arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or local operating notes before you go.
