Approach coverage concentrated on one end

PAIM’s two published approaches—RNAV (GPS) and NDB—both serve only one end of runway 07/25. Instrument arrival coverage is therefore directional, with no published approach to the reciprocal end. The ODP provides dedicated departure guidance, while the airport diagram adds ground and runway orientation. With one 4,100 ft gravel strip, all runway use shares the same alignment, and aircraft must be compatible with that length and surface.

Regional chart context

Hughes has a comparably broad chart set, with five procedures against PAIM’s four, while Allakaket’s three-chart coverage is somewhat thinner. The Fairbanks Sectional adds wider-area VFR context around Utopia Creek that the terminal procedures do not provide.

How long is the runway at PAIM?

Indian Mountain Lrrs has 1 runway. The longest is 07/25 at 4,100 ft by 150 ft, gravel. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does PAIM have an ILS approach?

Where can I download the PAIM airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Indian Mountain Lrrs is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at PAIM?

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 PAIM a towered airport?

No — Indian Mountain Lrrs 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 PAIM 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
