HYDER (4Z7) sits in Hyder, Alaska at 0 ft MSL. This is a seaplane base rather than a runway airport. No runways are listed, so the longest runway is not published. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston planning, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The published remarks matter here. Operations occur in Portland Canal. Caution is advised with tides below 0 feet because water depth can become too shallow for use of the facility. Boats may be tied to the seaplane base float and ramp. Be alert at low tide. Shallow milky glacial water can hide obstructions east of the float. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service details before arrival. A weather camera is available online through FAA weather cameras. For a first-time arrival, tide state and water depth are the big items to verify before you commit.
