Petersburg James A Johnson Airport (PAPG) sits in Petersburg, Alaska. Field elevation is 113.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 05/23, which is 6,400 ft long and paved. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.5. The published ILS serves runway 23. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Temsco Helicopters is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (907) 772-4780 for fuel and current availability. The Chart Supplement also notes that runway 05 has a PAPI with limited obstruction clearance beyond 2.0 NM from the threshold. Runway 23 has a road 1,500 ft from the threshold that is closed to taxiing. Lighting issues are published for runway 23 approach lighting, runway 05 end identifier lights, PAPIs on 05 and 23 and high intensity runway lights on 05/23. Those lights are controlled by CTAF.
This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 10 degrees C. Pavement evaluation is on the runway, so a visual check before use makes sense. The airport also has maintenance duty hours that vary by season. Check current NOTAMs and the FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
