KNYL sits in Yuma, Arizona near the U.S.-Mexico border. Field elevation is 213.3 ft MSL. The airport has four runways. The longest is 13,300 ft on 03L/21R. That gives plenty of pavement for most civil traffic. This is a busy military field with strict coordination needs.
The control tower is open 1430-0600Z daily. It is closed on holidays. Military aviation operations are not authorized 1430-1500Z daily because of airfield maintenance. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives you something different. One ILS is published for runway 21R.
Million Air Yuma is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead before arrival if you need ramp or transient details. Published remarks call out Part 77 obstructions, including a radar tower east of the field and poles near runway 17. There is also heavy local military activity, jet training and UHF traffic. Stay sharp on the radio and follow ATC instructions closely. Avoid overflying the Mexican border to the west. Transient and military ramp use also needs prior permission. Check in early with the airport or the FBO before you launch.
