RWY 31

Grants Pass Airport is in Grants Pass, Oregon. Field elevation is 1,130.1 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 4,001 ft of asphalt, so the field is best suited to light aircraft and smaller business traffic. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Cascade Approach handles approach and departure services on 124.3 and 379.9. For clearance delivery, the published remarks direct pilots to Cascade Approach. If that is closed, contact Seattle ARTCC. Pacific Aviation Northwest is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet-A Prist. Fuel is available 24 hours a day with credit card payment.

Runway 31 is the calm wind runway. Runway 13 and Runway 31 both have runway end identifier lights. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on 13/31. Wildlife is present on and near the airport, so expect that to be part of the preflight scan and the arrival brief. Runway 31 also has a PAPI, but its usable range is limited, so verify the current guidance before relying on it.
