Nogales Intl is in Nogales, Arizona near the Mexico border. Field elevation is 3,955.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 04/22, which is 7,200 ft long. There is no control tower. Approach and departure services are handled by Tucson Approach on 118.75 or 269.55 MHz.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Copper Mountain Air is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call them at (520) 287-9120 for current service details.
A few remarks matter before you go. Wildlife is reported on or near the airport. Runway 22 is the calm wind runway. Straight-in approaches are not recommended. The PAPI on 22 is limited left of centerline. It does not give obstruction clearance beyond 5.0 NM from the threshold. Runway 04 has a note against touch-and-go landings. The runway lights are activated by CTAF. At this elevation, expect higher density altitude on warm days. Check performance carefully before departure.
