Concentrated approach coverage

At Warren “Bud” Woods Palmer Municipal, both published approaches are RNAV (GPS) procedures serving a single runway end. The set therefore provides alternative procedures to that end but no published approach to any other end. With several runway designations, including a gravel strip and helipad, the airport diagram helps distinguish the available landing areas.

Runways and wider chart context

The 6,006 ft paved runway is 2,390 ft longer than the other paved runway, creating a clear difference in the aircraft sizes each can accommodate. The 1,560 ft gravel strip is more restrictive again. Among nearby fields, Elmendorf AFB has substantially broader procedure coverage, while Wasilla, Big Lake, Bryant AAF and Willow each have thinner sets. The two sectionals add broad visual-navigation context, while the Anchorage–Fairbanks Terminal Area Chart supplies more detailed regional coverage.

Is PAAQ a towered airport?

No — Warren "bud" Woods Palmer Muni 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.

How many runways does PAAQ have?

4, which is why the chart set is as large as it is — each runway end that supports an instrument approach needs its own plates. The runway diagram on this page shows the layout to scale.

Are these PAAQ charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
