Tri Cities Airport (KPSC) serves the Tri-Cities area of south-central Washington from its base at Pasco, offering a full-length instrument-equipped runway well suited to airline and general aviation traffic alike. Operated by the Port of Pasco, the field combines a long primary runway with a shorter parallel strip and a crosswind runway, all served by a control tower and approach facility.
Tri Cities Airport lies at Pasco, Washington, and is operated by the Port of Pasco. It is a medium-sized, towered field handling scheduled airline service alongside general aviation traffic, and its combination of a long, ILS-equipped runway and full approach and tower services makes it a straightforward destination for a VFR pilot to plan into, provided the controlled airspace and traffic pattern are respected.
The airport sits at Pasco in south-central Washington state, within the Tri-Cities area. It is served by its own control tower, ground control and clearance delivery, together with an approach and departure service identified by the callsign CHINOOK APP/DEP, indicating that the field lies within controlled airspace associated with the operating tower.
The airport has three physical runways. Runway 12/30 is 8044 feet long on the 12 threshold and 7694 feet on the 30 threshold, hard-surfaced and lit. Runway 03L/21R is 7702 feet long from the 03L threshold and 7092 feet from the 21R threshold, hard-surfaced and lit, with an ILS serving runway 21R. Runway 03R/21L is a shorter parallel strip of 4421 feet in each direction, hard-surfaced but not lit. Field elevation is 400 feet, at coordinates 46.2647, -119.119.
The airport is served by an operating control tower on 135.3 MHz, which also functions as the CTAF. Ground control operates on 121.8 MHz, with clearance delivery available separately. ATIS broadcasts on 125.65 MHz, and approach and departure services are provided under the callsign CHINOOK APP/DEP on 128.75 MHz. A UNICOM frequency of 122.95 MHz and a remote radio outlet on 122.4 MHz (SEATTLE RDO) are also listed, along with a further frequency of 120 MHz (CLD). Runway 21R is served by an ILS approach.
Tri Cities Airport is operated by the Port of Pasco and functions as a medium-sized airport supporting scheduled airline service in addition to general aviation activity, reflecting its long paved runways and full tower and approach services.
