RWY 23

Bagdad Airport sits in Bagdad, Arizona. The field elevation is 4,195.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 05/23, which is 4,552 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless local guidance says otherwise. The airport sits on a mesa. Mountains are east, northeast and northwest above the Part 77 conical surface. That matters for climb planning. It also matters for staying alert on departure and arrival.

Published remarks also call out brush near the runway 23 end. The brush sits close to the threshold on both sides of the centerline. The field also has unusable air currents in the area, especially near the runway 23 approach end. Expect that to affect your final and your go-around planning. No on-field FBOs are listed. If you need fuel or ground support, contact the airport operator or the field directly before arrival. The published remarks also list a sheriff emergency contact at 928-771-3260.
