Blue Canyon - Nyack is in Emigrant Gap, California. The field elevation is 5,283.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 3,300 ft long and paved with 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 FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern about 6,283.5 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
This is a mountain airport, so performance planning matters. The airport is closed in winter because of snow. It is also closed from sunset to sunrise. Do not plan a landing with snow on the runway. No snow removal service is provided. The rotating beacon is out of service indefinitely. Runway 15 has brush near the threshold, so give that end a close look before you commit. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need services. For clearance delivery, Oakland ARTCC handles that by phone.
