Know Before You GoIllustration of runway layout

  • There are three RWYs. (See illustration to the right.) RWY 10/28 and RWY 4/22 intersect at the northwestern part of the airport. There is a third runway, RWY 7/25 that is much narrower and shorter.
  • The air traffic control tower is located just south of RWY 7/25 
  • Each RWY has a full-length parallel TWY which increases the risk for a Wrong Surface Takeoff or Landing.
  • A complex TWY system connects the RWYs to all commercial and military facilities.  

The airspace at ROC is Class C. (See Sectional Chart.) 

ROC Tower Hours of Operation – Continuous – 24/7.
