PAHU is the airport at Hughes, Alaska. Field elevation is 298.6 ft MSL. The field has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,381 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower, so self-announce on CTAF 122.9 and keep a close scan for traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published for this field. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current local guidance says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Taxiway A is unlit. The runway lights on 18/36 are medium intensity and are activated by CTAF. The rotating beacon is also CTAF-activated. Winter snow removal happens here, so monitor the CTAF if you are inbound in cold weather. The runway condition is not monitored. A visual inspection before landing is recommended.
There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan on verifying services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. The south safety area is soft and rutted. There is also a 150 foot by 100 foot turnaround on the north side of the runway. For a first visit, treat this as a basic Alaska gravel strip with limited published approach support. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updates before you go.
