Picacho ARNG Heliport (ICAO: KPCA, FAA LID: PCA), also known as Picacho Stagefield Heliport formally Marana Auxiliary Army Airfield No. 1 (Picacho Field) is an Arizona Army National Guard towered training field 4 miles (3.5 nmi; 6.4 km) southeast of Picacho, Arizona.[1] The Airport is owned and operated by the United States Army. The field serves as a training facility for the Western Army National Guard Aviation Training Site based out of Pinal Airpark.[2][3]

Picacho ARNG Heliport is a towered airfield that does not have Class D Airspace ring around the airport on the Phoenix sectional chart this is due to it being a Heliport. Picacho ARNG Heliport should be considered Class D Airspace and the chart instructs pilots to CTC PCA TWR WITHIN 4 NM BELOW 2500 FT AGL.[4]

Marana Auxiliary Army Airfield No. 1 (aka Picacho Field) was one of five Auxiliary fields that served Marana Army Air Field (now: Pinal Airpark) and is part of many Arizona World War II Army Airfields. Picacho Field first appeared on the Phoenix sectional chart in 1945.[5][6]
