FITIUTA Airport is in FITIUTA Village, American Samoa. Field elevation is 110.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 3,200 ft long with a concrete surface. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.9 for self-announce traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The published runway headings are 134° and 314° magnetic. That matters here because the magnetic variation is 12°.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator or the field directly before arrival if you need current service details. Published remarks note that the PAPI on runway 12 is out of service indefinitely. The PAPI on runway 30 is also out of service indefinitely. Runway end identifier lights are active on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on runway 12/30.

The runway has a pavement classification rating of 90 rigid aircraft, with tire pressure limitations. For airport information, the published remarks direct pilots to the New Zealand NOTAM and briefing office. First-time arrivals should plan for a non-towered field with no published ILS and verify current lighting and runway status before departure.
