Chena River Airport (2Z5) sits in Fairbanks, Alaska. Field elevation is 440 ft MSL. There are no listed runways in the published facts. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is 560 ft AGL, which is 1,000 ft MSL. That matters here because the operating area is tied to the Chena River north and west of Fairbanks International Airport. The published remarks also say all property along the river bank is privately owned. Public access to the river is limited to one small gravel ramp. The public access ramp is at the north end of Ravenwood Avenue.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan on confirming current services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. A pilot coming in for the first time should treat this as a non-towered river-area operation with limited public access. The field also has a published magnetic variation of 28°. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local operating notes before flying in, especially if you need to use the river access point or the adjacent private grass strip.
