Circle City Airport (PACR) sits in Circle, Alaska. Field elevation is 613.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 2,979 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. No tower is published here. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lights on 15/33 are activated by the CTAF. The beacon is also CTAF-activated and runs from sunset to sunrise.

This is a field where a careful preflight matters. The segmented circle is overgrown. The windsock may be unreliable. Runway condition is not monitored or maintained. Do a visual inspection before you land. Snow removal happens in winter. Monitor the CTAF for traffic and field updates. Runway thresholds are marked with reflective panels.

There is no on-field FBO listed. 100LL is available off airport at the store in town. Taxi via the airport access road. Special use airspace information is available on 125.3 or 126.3. You can also call 1-800-758-8723. This airport has been surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey.
