Grand Canyon Ntl Park Airport sits in Grand Canyon, Arizona. The field elevation is 6,608.9 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 8,999 ft long and paved with asphalt. The airport is towered. Tower hours are June 1 through September 30 from 0600 to 2000. Tower hours are October 1 through May 31 from 0700 to 1900. An ILS is published for runway 03.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the common pattern target at 7,608.9 ft MSL. The airport sits in a high-elevation environment. Expect density altitude to matter, especially on warm days. The published remarks also note heavy air taxi activity in the area. This is not a place to freelance the arrival. Condors are also in the vicinity.
Grand Canyon Airlines is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours a day by phone call to the field. When the tower is closed, use CTAF for the PAPI on runway 21. Use CTAF for medium intensity runway lights on 03/21. Overnight parking and commercial landing fees apply. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any special flight rules area notes before you go.
