Central Airport (PACE) sits in Central, Alaska at 936.8 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 2,782 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The published headings are 103° and 283° magnetic. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so a light piston pilot should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has no on-field FBOs listed. Fuel availability needs a direct check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival.
A few published remarks matter here. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is smart. Snow removal is monitored on CTAF. Medium intensity runway lights on 08/26 are activated by CTAF. The displaced threshold on runway 08 is marked with blue lights and reflectors. The airport also has a weather camera on the FAA site. This is a remote Alaska strip with a gravel-dirt surface, so plan for surface condition, seasonal snow and reduced braking margin. Special use airspace information is available on 125.3 or 126.3, or by calling the published number before you go.
