RWY 01

Valle Airport (40G) sits in Grand Canyon, Arizona. Field elevation is 5,999 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 01/19, which is 4,199 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a VFR-only field. That matters here because the airport sits at high elevation. Expect performance planning to matter on warm days. Check density altitude before you go.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need local services. Published remarks also call out helicopter training in the area on 122.8 within 5 NM. Wildlife is present on and near the airport. Runway 01 and runway 19 both have centerline paint in poor condition with crack filler covering the markings. There is also an obstruction near each end. For current field conditions, winter maintenance, or clearance delivery, use the airport manager or Los Angeles ARTCC as published.
