Puntzi Mountain Airport (CYPU) sits at Puntzi Mountain in British Columbia. The field elevation is 2,985 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts block, so verify the current landing surface and usable length before you go. There is no control tower. No tower hours are published.

No ILS approaches are published for CYPU. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport has a magnetic variation of 20°. That matters when you are sorting headings and planning your arrival.

No on-field FBOs are listed. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. Or call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. The published remarks say no winter maintenance is provided. That is the main operational item here. Plan for surface conditions and access issues in cold weather. This is a higher-elevation field, so density altitude can matter on warm days. Check the current Chart Supplement before flying in.
