Pago Pago Intl sits in Pago Pago, American Samoa. Field elevation is 31.2 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 10,001 ft. Runway 08/26 is 3,801 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.9 and keep a sharp scan in the pattern.
One ILS is published for runway 05. Lighting is active from dusk to dawn. Runway 05 has MALSR. PAPI is available on runways 05 and 23. High intensity runway lights are installed on both runways. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,031 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
This is a coastal field, so sea spray can drift across runway 05/23 in rough sea conditions. Olootele Mountain rises to 1,617 ft MSL about 3.5 miles west of runway 08. A lighted and marked 226-foot tower sits on Mount Alava 4.3 statute miles north-northeast of the airport. There is no on-field FBO listed. All flights except scheduled require prior permission from the airport manager with 24 hours prior notice. For NOTAMs, the published contact is New Zealand Flight Service Station. If you need fuel or ramp details, confirm them with the airport operator before departure.
