Come join the Anchorage ARTCC on Saturday March 19th for our Valdez fly-in event. Located about 90NM east of Anchorage International, Valdez (PAVD) is one of the most challenging airports in Alaska, so come test your IFR skills with us from 1800-2200 Zulu. It’s one way in, one way out, so don’t be surprised if a little holding is involved.

Valdez is a small town and was put on the map as the terminus of the Trans Alaska Pipeline. Here, oil is piped from the north slope of Alaska and loaded onto tanker ships, then transported out to various oil refineries. During the construction of the 800 mile pipeline, Valdez airport became a bustling destination necessitating a control tower. For this event, we will reopen the control tower to help things move smoothly.

All inbound IFR aircraft, plan on executing the full procedure (NO RADAR VECTORS) LDA/DME H or G approach. A published hold exists at the OLLEO intersection on both of these approaches, please be familiar because you may need to hold here for sequencing.

All outbound IFR aircraft, plan the JMAAL3.NAKED departure procedure.
