Dry Bay Airport (3AK) is in Yakutat, Alaska. Field elevation is 33 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts block, so check the current Chart Supplement and inspect the field before use. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. If you are operating a light piston, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify services before you go. The published remarks matter here. The southwest end beyond the threshold has soft sand. Wildlife is in the vicinity of the runway. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. The windsock is 0.2 miles north at the processing plant. Do not expect it right on the field. Commercial operations may need authorization and prior permission to park. Call 907-697-2230 for that.
This is a low-elevation Alaska field with limited published infrastructure. Treat it like a remote strip. Confirm current runway condition, surface use and local procedures with the airport operator before arrival.
