Perryton Ochiltree County Airport (KPYX) sits in Perryton, Texas at 2,918.4 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 17/35 at 5,701 ft. Runway 04/22 is 3,280 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field uses magnetic variation of 7°. Knox Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call them at (806) 435-4226 for current service details.
A few published remarks matter for planning. Runway 17/35 lights are preset to low intensity from dusk to dawn. Use CTAF to raise the intensity. The PAPI on 17 and 35 runs continuously. Runway 04/22 has indefinite ends marked by mowing. The surface is rough with large animal holes, so treat it as a soft-field strip and inspect it carefully before use. There is also a 15-foot gravel road at the runway end of 04. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City ARTCC at 913-254-8508. This is a non-towered field at higher elevation, so expect density altitude to matter in warm weather.
