Procedure coverage

At Gustavus, both published approaches serve a single runway end: one RNAV (GPS) and one VOR. This gives two forms of instrument guidance to the same end, but none to the opposite end or either end of the second runway. With four obstacle departure procedures against two approaches, the chart set provides more departure routing than arrival choice. No airport diagram is published.

Runways and visual context

Runway 11/29 is more than twice the length of 02/20; aircraft needing over 3,010 ft therefore have only 11/29 available. The Juneau Sectional adds broader visual-navigation and airspace context around Gustavus beyond the terminal procedures.

Common questions about PAGS

What charts are available for PAGS?

8 current FAA charts for Gustavus, including 2 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for PAGS?

CTAF 122.5. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at PAGS?

Gustavus has 2 runways. The longest is 11/29 at 6,720 ft by 150 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does PAGS have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total PAGS has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at PAGS?

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.

Is PAGS a towered airport?

No — Gustavus 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.

Are these PAGS 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
