Penticton Airport (CYYF) is in Penticton, British Columbia. The field elevation is 1,129 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts provided here, so verify the current runway layout before planning a trip in. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published in the facts. For a light piston, use 1,000 ft AGL as the working pattern reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. With magnetic variation listed at 18°, be careful with any runway or heading references you may be using from older notes. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the provided data. That means fuel and ramp details need a direct check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival.

For a first-time pilot, the main point here is to verify the current airport configuration before you go. The facts do not list any frequencies, so confirm CTAF or any local traffic frequency before departure. The airport sits in the Okanagan area, so density altitude can matter on warm days. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest operational details before flying in.
