EVA CREEK (2Z3) is in Alaska, about 8 statute miles east of Ferry. Field elevation is 2,817 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 950 ft long and gravel. The runway headings are 97° and 277° magnetic. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current guidance says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 3,817 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before flight if you need an exact pattern plan.

This is an emergency field for light planes only. Knowledge of the strip is recommended before use. The published remarks also call out loose rocks on the surface, brush and trees growing on the runway and a 15 degree dogleg to the south on the west end. Terrain drops off sharply on the east side of the runway. Severe turbulence is reported at all times. Plan conservatively. This is not a casual stop. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current local conditions before you go.

Frequently asked questions

What is the runway at EVA CREEK (2Z3)?

2Z3 has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 950 ft long and gravel. The published magnetic headings are 97° and 277°.

Is EVA CREEK towered or untowered?

EVA CREEK is untowered. Use CTAF 122.9 for local traffic calls and verify the latest procedures before arrival.

What is the field elevation at EVA CREEK?

Field elevation is 2,817 ft MSL. That matters here because density altitude and climb performance can become limiting fast.

What is the pattern altitude at EVA CREEK (2Z3)?

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Does EVA CREEK have an ILS approach?

No ILS approaches are published for 2Z3. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any other approach data before you go.

What should a pilot know before landing at EVA CREEK?

The published remarks are serious. Loose rocks, brush and trees are reported on the runway surface. There is also a 15 degree dogleg to the south on the west end. Terrain drops off sharply on the east side.

Is EVA CREEK suitable for light aircraft only?

Yes. The published remarks call it an emergency field for light planes only. Knowledge of the strip is recommended before use, so a first visit should be treated very cautiously.

Which FBOs are on the field at EVA CREEK?

No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. Call the field on CTAF for current service availability.
