Airport diagram

The FAA airport diagram for Tampa International — runways, taxiways, ramps and hold short lines. Shown in the browser above; the FAA PDF ↗ is the authoritative copy.

Instrument approaches at KTPA

Tampa International has 16 published instrument approaches of 4 types (ILS, RNAV (RNP), RNAV (GPS) and LOC). 15 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums.

Departures and arrivals

Tampa International publishes 8 departure procedures (SIDs) — charted routes from the runway to the en route structure, assigned by ATC in the clearance. It also publishes 4 arrivals (STARs), the mirror image: charted routes from the en route structure down to where the approach begins. Each one is in the list at the foot of this page with its continuation pages.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

• Takeoff minimums are published for KTPA. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
• Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KTPA as an IFR alternate, the required forecast is higher than the default 600-2 for precision or 800-2 for non precision approaches. Check the alternate rule tool.
• Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) are conducted here. The plate lists which runway intersections and the available landing distance for each; a pilot may always decline a LAHSO clearance.
