Picacho Army National Guard 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]
