Feather River Airport (3Z1) sits in Feather River, Alaska at 325 ft MSL. This is a non-towered field with CTAF 122.9. No runways are listed in the data block. The published remarks describe runway 12/30 as unmaintained and very rough. The field is old. It was established prior to 1959.
There are no published ILS approaches. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard traffic pattern judgment for light piston aircraft. Verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The remarks also call out terrain 24 feet higher than the runway 30 threshold. Higher gravel terrain and a ridge sit on the east side of runway 12/30. They are difficult to see from the air.
The runway surface has more than one hazard to watch for. The published remarks mention small rock piles hidden by grass, loose rocks up to 14 inches in diameter and brush up to 3 feet high on the runway. The controlling obstruction at runway 12 exceeds a 45 degree slope. This is not a casual strip. Do a careful preflight. Get current local knowledge. Inspect the surface before any landing attempt. No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call on CTAF for current field status before arrival.
