Yap Intl sits on Yap Island in the Federated States of Micronesia. Field elevation is 90.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 07/25, which is 6,000 ft long and asphalt. No control tower is listed, so use CTAF 123.6 for local traffic calls. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 07/25 is grooved full length. PAPI is available on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are on the runway. The published remarks also say the lighting is out of service, so verify the current status before a night arrival.
This field requires prior permission for landing. The remarks say the request must be filed 48 hours in advance with the Federated States of Micronesia Secretary of Transportation, Communication & Infrastructure. A Saturday arrival has an extra 24-hour prior permission requirement with a filed flight plan or by phone. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Taxi carefully. The remarks call out cracks on both sides of the taxiway.
