Tetlin Airport (3T4) sits in Tetlin, Alaska. Field elevation is 1,670.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 3,300 ft long and gravel. The runway headings are magnetic 102° and 282°. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local conditions or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. At this field that works out to about 2,670.9 ft MSL for light piston traffic. Runway condition is unmonitored. A visual check before landing is a good idea. Medium intensity runway lights on 08/26 are activated by CTAF. Skis are not recommended. No ropes are available for tie-down.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify services with the airport operator before you go. Tetlin is a high-elevation Alaska strip, so density altitude and performance planning matter. The gravel surface also calls for normal soft-field technique and a careful look at braking and acceleration on departure.
