KPTK is Oakland County Intl in Pontiac, Michigan. The field sits at 980.6 ft MSL. It has three asphalt runways. The longest is 09R/27L at 6,521 ft. The tower is open from 0600 to 0000. One ILS approach is published for runway 09R. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a busy metro airport with mixed piston, turbine and jet traffic. The field is in the Detroit area, so expect close attention to ATC and be ready for frequency changes. When the tower is closed, use CTAF 120.5 for traffic calls. The published remarks also note limited tower visibility south of runway 36 and near taxiway A2 between taxiways A and B. Birds and deer are reported on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi and final.

On the field, Maven by Midfield, PremierFBO, Royal Air, Pentastar Aviation, Elite Jet Center at Contact and Michigan Aviation all serve the airport. Confirm services by phone before arrival. Published remarks also note lighting procedures for tower-closed operations on runway 09R/27L. Check the current Chart Supplement for any operating limits, landing fee notes, or customs timing before you go.
