KPAN is in Payson, Arizona. The field elevation is 5,160.4 ft MSL. It has one asphalt runway, 06/24, at 5,504 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not standard across all aircraft. Use 1,043 ft AGL for propeller aircraft. Use 1,543 ft AGL for jets, multi-engine and large engine aircraft. Use 543 ft AGL for helicopters. That matters here because the airport sits high enough that performance planning deserves attention. That is especially true on warm days.
MPG East is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve credit card fuel is available at the west end. The published remarks also note an airport campground near the Bravo ramp. Runway lighting is pilot-controlled on CTAF from dusk to dawn. The runway end identifier lights are active on 06 and 24. The PAPI on 06 is available. The PAPI on 24 operates continuously.
For first-time arrivals, pay close attention to the departure noise abatement. Turn north 30 degrees for 2 NM after takeoff. Arrival and departure below 1,000 ft over town is not authorized. There are also published obstructions near both thresholds. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. Brief the runway and terrain picture before descent.
