PILOTS REST
PAULDEN, AZ
Paulden, Arizona hosts Pilots Rest (AZ57), a privately owned, non-towered airfield. A single gravel runway, 08/26, serves the field at 3,925 feet long and 50 feet wide.
No instrument approach procedures are published, so the field is used under visual flight rules. As a non-towered field, it operates under see-and-avoid procedures, with pilots coordinating their own arrivals and departures. The field has no fuel sales on record, and its private-use designation means pilots need the owner's permission before landing.
The airport sits at 4,450 feet above mean sea level. Given the field elevation, pilots should watch density altitude on hot days.
