Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if local conditions and the current Chart Supplement support that choice. The published operations area is Wooden Wheel Cove. The remarks also call out crab pot buoys in the area. Skiffs are tied to the Alaska Department of Transportation Statewide Ferry and Boat float.

With no tower and no published runway layout, get the current picture from the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. In this part of Alaska, local conditions can change fast. Verify the current Chart Supplement for any operational notes before departure.
