RWY 36

Palm Beach County Glades Airport sits in Pahokee, Florida. Field elevation is 15.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 18/36, which is 4,116 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Palm Beach Approach uses 125.2 and 317.4 for the area. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (561) 924-5253 if you need current service details.

A few published remarks matter for planning. Runway 18 and Runway 36 both have displaced-threshold obstacle notes, so pay attention to your arrival path. Medium intensity runway lights on 18/36 are activated by CTAF. Birds are reported on and near the airport. Airport surface condition is not reported for all runways, so get the latest picture before you go. If you need after-hours service, the published number is available in the Chart Supplement. This is a low-elevation field in flat country, so weather and traffic are usually the bigger planning items than terrain.
