Mountain Village Airport (PAMO) sits in Mountain Village, Alaska. Field elevation is 339.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 3,501 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The runway headings are 32° and 212° 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 use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,339 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan fuel and service support accordingly. Check ahead with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.

A few operational items matter here. Runway 02 has a dip near the PAPI. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. Medium intensity runway lights are pilot-activated on 02/20. The PAPI and runway end identifier lights are also activated by CTAF. The rotating beacon is CTAF-activated too. Weather camera coverage is available on the FAA weather camera site. This is a small Alaska field with no tower, so expect to self-announce clearly and keep an eye on surface condition and lighting status before arrival.

Frequently asked questions

What is the runway at Mountain Village Airport (PAMO)?

PAMO has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 3,501 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface.

Is there an ILS at PAMO?

No ILS approaches are published for PAMO. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest approach data before you fly.

What is the pattern altitude at PAMO?

Pattern altitude is not published. For a light piston, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That is about 1,339 ft MSL based on the field elevation.

Does Mountain Village Airport have a control tower?

No. PAMO is non-towered, so use CTAF 122.9 and make clear position reports in the pattern.

What runway lighting is available at PAMO?

Medium intensity runway lights are activated by CTAF on runway 02/20. The PAPI and runway end identifier lights are also CTAF-activated.

Is runway 02/20 at PAMO monitored for condition before landing?

No. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is recommended.

Are there any on-field FBOs at PAMO?

No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current FBO availability.

What should a first-time pilot know about arriving at PAMO?

Runway 02 has a dip near the PAPI. That makes a careful stabilized approach important. The field also uses CTAF-activated lighting and a CTAF-activated beacon, so verify lighting before you commit to a night arrival.
