Ruby Airport is in Ruby, Alaska. The field elevation is 657.5 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 4,000 ft long and gravel. The airport is not towered, so CTAF self-announce work is the normal flow here. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless local conditions or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. The runway lighting is CTAF-activated. Runway 21 has REIL and PAPI lighting. The rotating beacon is also activated by the CTAF. Published remarks say runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before landing is smart. Runway 03/21 has a downslope to the midpoint. Runway 21 has a 2 percent downslope. This is a cold temperature airport too. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 39 degrees Celsius. Birds are reported near a landfill one mile southwest of the runway. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
