MC Grath Airport (16Z) sits in Mc Grath, Alaska. The field elevation is 325 ft MSL. This is a non-towered field with CTAF 123.6. No runways are listed. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current traffic pattern guidance before you go. The airport lies in the Kuskokwim River operating area. That matters here. The landing and beaching area is not marked. Seasonal sandbar changes can shift the usable area. Large rocks and debris are submerged in the river along the landing and beaching area. Treat the surface as a dynamic environment. Get current local guidance before arrival. Fuel is available from 0800 to 1800 Monday through Saturday. The airport was established prior to 1959. A weather camera is available online for a current look at conditions. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need services on the ground. For first-time pilots, the big items are the river environment, the lack of published runway data and the need to verify current surface conditions and pattern guidance before committing.
