Fort Yukon Airport (PFYU) sits in Fort Yukon, Alaska. Field elevation is 447.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 5,000 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.5.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway lighting is on CTAF control. Runway 22 has MALSR. VASI is available on both runway ends. The published remarks also say runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before landing is smart. Snow removal crews monitor CTAF. Line of sight between the runway thresholds and the waterlane is not available, so keep a close ear on CTAF before departure.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Jet A is available from May through September. Call 907-662-2408 for current fuel availability. The airport also has weather observations on CTAF or by phone at 907-662-2948 from 0700 to 1900. First-time pilots should also watch for birds near the landfill northwest of the runway. Special use airspace information is available by phone if you need it before launch.
