RWY 13

Wiley Post Airport is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The field elevation is 1,299.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 7,199 ft on 17L/35R. The tower is open daily from 0700 to 2200. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 17L and 35R.

For pattern work, the published traffic pattern altitude is 600 ft AGL for runway 17R/35L. All other runways use 1,000 ft AGL. That matters here because the field sits high enough that density altitude can be a factor in warm weather. Runway 17L/35R also has published noise abatement procedures for heavier departures. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go if you need the exact wording for your aircraft.

On the field, Atlantic Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. JetSet FBO carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. AvionAero carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. 100LL is also available 24 hours a day self-serve with a credit card. One operational note for planning. Runway 17L/35R is unlighted from 0400 to 1300 Zulu. Runway 13/31 is closed from 0400 to 1300 Zulu. Birds are reported on and near the airport. If you are arriving at night or in marginal weather, confirm current field status with the tower or the airport operator before launch.
