Portland Intl Jetport sits in Portland, Maine. Field elevation is 75.7 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 11/29 at 7,200 ft. Tower service is published from 0545 to 0000. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 11 and 29. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a controlled field in Class C airspace. Expect busy airline and business traffic. Noise abatement is published for landing runway 11. Departure runway 29 also has published noise abatement. Run-up requires prior contact with airport operations on 129.95 or by phone. Snow removal can stop touch-and-go landings. Birds are reported on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and final.
On field FBOs are Northeast Air and MAC Jets. Both carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are arriving after tower hours, clearance delivery goes through Boston ARTCC. For emergencies between 0000 and 0545, Portland Air Rescue is the published contact. The cargo apron has GA customer and imaging facilities. Use extra caution there because of jet blast near hangars and other aircraft.
