Russian Mission Airport (PARS) sits in Russian Mission, Alaska near the Yukon River. Field elevation is 58.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,620 ft of gravel and is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the current Chart Supplement and local traffic calls before you arrive.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-briefing the field and confirming services before departure. Published remarks say runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. The rotating beacon, windsock, runway end identifier lights and the medium intensity runway lights are activated by CTAF. Runway 36 has a PAPI. It is unusable beyond 9 degrees right of centerline. That matters if you are lining up in gusty or crosswind conditions.
This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 30 degrees Celsius. Seaplane traffic also operates nearby on the Yukon River and Nunvotchuk Lake. Watch for fish nets close to shore. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
