KALAELOA (John Rodgers Fld) sits in Kapolei on the west side of Oahu in Hawaii. Field elevation is 32.3 ft MSL. The airport has three asphalt runways. The longest is runway 11/29 at 8,365 ft. Tower service is published from 0600 to 2200. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published in the standard way, so use the FAA remarks. Small aircraft use 800 ft AGL. Large aircraft use 1,000 ft AGL. Million Air Honolulu is on the field. They carry AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A Prist. Call (808) 490-2400 for fuel or current ramp details.

This is busy airspace with jet traffic and military helicopter activity near the field. Watch for wake turbulence, especially near runway 04R. The remarks also call out standing water at the intersection of runways 04R and 11, so hydroplaning is a real concern after rain. Visual glide slope indicators on runways 11 and 29 are out of service. When the tower is closed, lights for the runways and taxiways are activated on CTAF. Avoid overflying the refineries west of the airport.
