Girdwood Airport (AQY) sits in Girdwood, Alaska at 164 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 2,095 ft long and gravel. This is a non-towered field, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The runway headings are 40° and 220° magnetic. Published remarks matter here. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. Threshold reflectors are published on both ends. Edge markers are not available. The segmented circle markers are overgrown. There is also a 200-foot safety area at both ends of the runway.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before you go. One more local item to know. Daylight hang glider and parasail activity occurs 2 NM northeast and on the airport. There is also a 100-foot cable from the hotel to the roundhouse, so keep your scan sharp in the area. For any current noise, operating, or surface condition details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
