Packwood Airport sits in Packwood, Washington. The field elevation is 1,057 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 2,357 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 2,057 ft MSL. The runway has medium intensity lights that are activated by CTAF. Published remarks also note soft shoulders on both sides of 01/19. Use the runway for back taxi to the north end. Runway 01 has a fence close to the threshold, with more fence and a ditch beyond it. Trees and fences are in the primary surface. Trees and buildings are in the transitional surfaces.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need fuel or services. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. This is a small field with terrain and obstacle details that matter. Review the current Chart Supplement before you go, especially if you plan a night arrival or a heavier airplane.
