Richmond Intl is in Richmond, Virginia. Field elevation is 167.5 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 16/34 at 9,003 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Three ILS approaches are published for runway ends 02, 16 and 34. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC says otherwise.
This is a busy Class C field with Potomac Approach handling the airspace. Expect normal towered-airport sequencing. Stay sharp on taxi instructions. The published remarks matter here. Construction is ongoing, so runway and taxiway closures can change. Bird activity is also reported around the runways and taxiways. Airport surface condition is not maintained from 0000 to 0600 local time.
Two on-field FBOs are listed. Richmond Jet Center carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Million Air carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are planning a diversion, call airport operations at 804-226-0001 first. The airport says it has facility limits for diverted flights. Some pushbacks also need ATC clearance. This includes certain gates on taxiway A and hardstands on taxiway T. Taxiway V is restricted to aircraft with wingspans of 99 ft or less between taxiways A and R.
