Facilities and aircraft

Casa Grande Municipal Airport covers an area of 640 acres (259 ha) at an elevation of 1,464 feet (446 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 5/23 with an asphalt surface measuring 5,200 by 100 feet (1,585 x 30 m).

For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2009, the airport had 119,680 aircraft operations, an average of 327 per day: 98% general aviation, 2% air taxi, and <1% military. At that time there were 77 aircraft based at this airport: 80% single-engine, 4% multi-engine, 3% helicopter and 13% ultralight.

The existing facilities include a paved runway (05-23), three major taxiways, apron and tiedown areas, hangers, a lighted wind sock, segmented circle, and rotating beacon. Runway 05-23 has a Medium Intensity Runway Lighting System (MIRL) with precision instrument markings for Runway 05 and basic markings on Runway 23. Approach aids include a Visual approach Slope Indicator (VASI), Runway End Identifier Lights (REILS), threshold lights, and a Category I Instrument Landing system (ILS). Two published instrument approaches into the Airport can be executed. The approaches to runway 5 consist of a VOR/GPS approach or an ILS/DME approach.

The existing Runway 05-23 is 5,200 feet in length and 100 feet wide. Beginning at the Runway 5 threshold, the runway slopes uphill from an elevation of 1445 to an elevation of 1462 at the runway 23 threshold. This location is the high point of the runway

The Runway has an asphaltic concrete surface, comprised of a 5 inch thick asphalt surface course over 8 inches of crushed base course. The existing pavement is rated at 18,500 lb. Single wheel loading and 65,000 lb. dual wheel loading.

Other important items relating to the runways at the Airport include the Runway Protection Zones (RPZ), and the approach surfaces. The RPZ is defined as an area off the runway end used to enhance the protection of people and property on the ground. The RPZ is trapezoidal in shape and centered about the extended runway centerline. The existing Runway 5 RPZ lies within airport property boundaries and the Runway 23 RPZ extends beyond airport property. However aviation easements protect the areas beyond the property limits. Arizona Highway 387 lies within the runway 23 RPZ.

At the Casa Grande Airport, a 50:1 precision instrument approach surface is the primary approach to Runway 5. The approach minimums are published at 285' height above touchdown (HAT) with a � mile visibility. The best approach minimums available for a Category * (CAT I) Instrument Landing System (ILS) are 200' HAT and � mile visibility.

The current approach for Runway 5 has several obstructions such as trees, shrubs and fences.

The City of Casa Grande maintains and rents out 52 T-hangars, 18 shade-hangars, 50 tie-downs, a commercial hangar, and a flight school building. In addition, the City has leased land out to four private hangars.

The terminal building was built in 2001 with 4,800 square feet. It contains offices, restrooms, showers, a pilot briefing and flight planning area, conference room and a fuel service desk.

Pinal Avenue/State Highway 387 provides access to the airport. An access road leads directly to the terminal building and the FBO facility.

There are 60 auto parking spots available to terminal users, FBO patrons, and occupants of the shade hangars.

Casa Grande has an AWOS-3 system to provide local weather information. It can be accessed on 132.175 or by calling (520)836-3392.
