Ryan Airfield (ICAO: KRYN, FAA LID: RYN), also known as Ryan Field Airport, is a public airport located 10 miles (16 km) southwest of the central business district of Tucson, a city in Pima County, Arizona, United States. According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2007–2011, it is categorized as a reliever airport.
It is mostly used for general aviation but also serves a significant amount of law enforcement and military helicopter activity. Approximately 50% of Ryan's traffic is training-related. Annual operations for 2007 totaled 249,523, an increase of 23% over 2006. Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Ryan Airfield is assigned RYN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned RYN to Royan - Médis Airport in Royan, France). History
Ryan was built by the United States Army Air Forces in 1942 as a site for primary flight training. Military flight training at Ryan ceased in 1944 and the property was conveyed to the State of Arizona in 1948. Currently owned by the City of Tucson, Ryan is operated by the Tucson Airport Authority under an agreement which expires in 2054.
An air traffic control tower was constructed at Ryan in 1993. The airport was added to the Contract Tower Program in 1996. In September 2004 the tower staff completed the 1 millionth operation without an error.
Significant infrastructure improvements and major maintenance projects are accomplished continuously, as is private and commercial hangar construction.
Facilities and aircraft
Ryan Field covers an area of 1,754 acres (710 ha) which contains three asphalt paved runways:
- Runway 6L/24R: 4,900 x 75 ft (1,494 x 23 m)
- Runway 6R/24L: 5,500 x 75 ft (1,676 x 23 m)
- Runway 15/33: 4,000 x 75 ft (1,219 x 23 m)
Only runway 6R is serviced by an instrument approach. It allows pilots to land with ceilings as low as 250 feet above ground level. Runways 6L and 6R are the preferential runways, and they are used with tailwinds up to 10 knots. For the 12-month period ending December 30, 2007, the airport had 249,523 aircraft operations, an average of 683 per day: 97% general aviation, 3% military and <1% air taxi. There are 305 aircraft based at this airport, as of early 2008: 90% single-engine, 7% multi-engine, 2% glider, 2% ultralight, <1% jet and <1% helicopter.
