Centennial Airport (APA)

Centennial Airport (APA) is located 20 miles south-southwest of Denver International Airport. APA is on the south end of the metro area near the Denver Tech Center which is a major business district. APA is also home to numerous flight schools. The traffic mix of business jets, helicopters and general aviation makes for a challenging airport environment for pilots of all experience levels. Closely spaced parallel RWYs with parallel TWYs along with a complex network of uncontrolled ramp areas await pilots at APA. View a printable Pilot Handbook of the APA information found on this Web page.
