KELLY FLD sits in San Antonio, Texas. Field elevation is 690.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 16/34, at 11,550 ft of concrete. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published, one for runway 16 and one for runway 34. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless ATC gives you something different. That puts you at about 1,691 ft MSL.
Atlantic Aviation is on field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (210) 921-6100 for current service details.
This is a joint-use field with military activity. Expect a more structured environment than a typical GA airport. The published remarks also note a daily closure from 2300 local to 0700 local. Only pre-approved aircraft with 24 to 48 hours notice may arrive or depart during that window. Customs, plant quarantine and immigration are available. Plan to coordinate 2 hours before arrival if you need those services. The field also has a landing fee for most aircraft, with exemptions listed in the Chart Supplement. One more thing to watch is the published cable hazard near the Baker-12A system. If you are new to the airport, brief the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator or Atlantic Aviation before departure.
