Gustavus Airport (PAGS) sits in Gustavus, Alaska at 36.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 11/29 at 6,720 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.5 and keep a close scan for traffic and wildlife. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. Magnetic variation is 20°. Runway 11/29 has runway end identifier lights, VASIs and medium intensity runway lights controlled by CTAF. Runway 02/20 is 3,010 ft long. It is maintained in winter. Daylight operations only are recommended on that runway.
Gustavus Dray is on the field. It carries JET A and JET A PRIST. Contract fuel maintenance is available. Call ahead if you need support. The published remarks also note limited airport maintenance service by season. After-hours contact goes to the airport manager. Transient parking is on the east side of runway 02/20. The asphalt there is soft. Aircraft over 12,500 pounds need 24 hours prior contact on weekdays. This is a field where you should plan for wildlife. Plan for runway lighting use and seasonal maintenance limits before you launch.
