RWY 21

Bryce Canyon Airport sits in Bryce Canyon, Utah. Field elevation is 7,589.9 ft MSL. That altitude matters. Expect performance to change fast on warm days. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 7,395 ft long with asphalt pavement. No tower is published, so use CTAF 122.8 for traffic calls. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 8,590 ft MSL.

No ILS approaches are published here. Plan for non-precision or visual work only, then verify the current procedure set before you go. The on-field FBO is Bryce Canyon Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. After hours fuel is available by phone. A published call-in fee applies. Runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights are installed on 03 and 21. That helps for night arrivals. The elevation and terrain still deserve respect. Clearance delivery may need a call to Salt Lake Center if flight service cannot be reached. For a first trip, brief the density altitude, runway lighting and the lack of tower control before you launch.
