PIE (KPIE) is a near sea-level field at 11 ft (3 m) in the subtropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
PIE sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
PIE's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 9,730 ft / 2,966 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt, concrete.
Civil aviation oversight for PIE runs through Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); a more specific operator record is not currently in our source set.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at fly2pie.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for PIE
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
PIE uses America/New_York (EDT, UTC-04:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
St. Petersburg Clearwater International Airport is about 23 km from central Pinellas Park; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
TPA Tampa is the closest retained alternate at 17 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
fly2pie.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place PIE inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
PIE ranks #65 in the curated United States airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 94 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
PIE shares America/New_York with ALB Albany US · ATL Atlanta US · BDL Hartford US · BOS Boston US · BUF Buffalo US · BWI Baltimore US. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
PIE is 11 ft (3 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include BSR 11 ft (3 m) (0 ft delta) · POA 11 ft (3 m) (0 ft delta) · SDU 11 ft (3 m) (0 ft delta) · BCN 12 ft (4 m) (1 ft delta) · CGP 12 ft (4 m) (1 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
PIE's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are TPA 17 km +0h · SRQ 59 km +0h · MCO 147 km +0h · SFB 172 km +0h.

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Tampa is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
St. Petersburg Clearwater International Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from PIE, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
