Frequently asked questions
What runway length is available at KGYR?
Phoenix Goodyood Airport, identified as KGYR, offers Runway 03/21 at 8,500 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the airport's only runway suited to business turbine traffic, since the second listed runway is a 64-foot helipad. The full length supports a wide range of jet and turboprop operations without runway-length restrictions for most business aircraft. KGYR is a towered field with an elevation of 969 feet, and the runway dimensions make it a capable alternate to the busier Phoenix-area airports.
Is customs clearance available at Phoenix Goodyood Airport?
Phoenix Goodyood Airport, KGYR, does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is at Phoenix Sky Harbor International, KPHX, located approximately 18.24 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to plan a stop or routing through KPHX rather than clearing directly at KGYR. This distance should be factored into trip planning for any international arrival that would otherwise use Goodyood as the point of entry.
What fuel types are available at KGYR?
KGYR, Phoenix Goodyood Airport, offers both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel on the field. The airport operates on an ALL / ALL / ALL attendance schedule, meaning fuel and field services are staffed year-round without seasonal gaps in coverage. This makes Goodyood a straightforward fuel stop for a mix of piston and turbine business aircraft operating in the Phoenix metro area. Its position roughly 21.8 nautical miles from the metro center adds a general aviation option outside the more congested Sky Harbor airspace.
Does Phoenix Goodyood Airport see seasonal traffic variation?
Yes, KGYR shows notable seasonal concentration in its business aviation traffic according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. October is the peak month with 776 business aviation operations, well above the January low of 310. Traffic builds through the fall months and tapers in the winter, a pattern worth noting for scheduling and slot planning at Phoenix Goodyood Airport. Total annual operations at the field reached 7,404, with business aviation accounting for 6,414 of those movements.
What noise abatement or traffic pattern procedures apply at KGYR?
Phoenix Goodyood Airport enforces a noise abatement procedure requiring traffic patterns to stay close to the airport and south of Interstate 10. Traffic operating north of I-10 must maintain 1,000 feet until receiving further instruction. Pilots departing KGYR should also note power lines about 100 feet high, unlit and unmarked, located a half mile south of the runway end, which affect departure climb paths. These procedures are specific to Goodyood's local airspace and pattern design near the Phoenix metro area.
