Payson’s instrument coverage is concentrated on a single end of runway 06/24. Both published approaches are RNAV (GPS) procedures, leaving the opposite end without a published instrument approach. The 5,504 ft runway provides the field’s only runway alignment; the separate 50 ft concrete H1 is a helipad rather than another runway direction. With no airport diagram, the published set is confined to approach and minimums material.
Sedona has the same total chart count as Payson, while Cottonwood’s coverage is slightly thinner. Scottsdale and Phoenix Deer Valley have much broader procedure sets, with Falcon Field between those larger collections and Payson’s compact set. The Phoenix Sectional supplies the broader VFR chart context absent from the instrument procedures.

4 current FAA charts for Payson, including 2 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.
CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
Payson has 2 runways. The longest is 06/24 at 5,504 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
No ILS is published. In total KPAN has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 2 are RNAV (GPS).
Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.
The field elevation is 5,160 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.
No — Payson has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.
