Warren "Bud" Woods Palmer Muni sits in Palmer, Alaska at 248.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 16/34 at 6,006 ft. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current local guidance says otherwise.
This is an active Alaska field with mixed traffic. Skydiving and glider activity can show up from April through September. Banner towing runs May through October, Thursday through Sunday. Fire tanker operations are also based here. Give way to emergency aircraft and use the designated runup area. Runway 10/28 is closed to aircraft over 12,500 pounds. The PAPI on 28 is not usable beyond 3.0 NM from the threshold. The PAPI on 34 is not usable beyond 5.4 NM from the threshold. Runway 10 has a road close in on the right side near the threshold, plus a fence west of the threshold. Fuel is available 24 hours a day on the north and south ramps. Hinchinbrook Aerofuel and Northern Petroleum Services are on the field. Both carry 100LL and Jet A. Transient parking is on the north ramp for T1 through T9. Large transient aircraft park on the south ramp in T10 through T12.
