ALEKNAGIK /NEW (5A8) is in Aleknagik, Alaska. The field elevation is 63 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 2,030 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway is marked with orange 3-foot cones. The runway slopes down toward the departure end of runway 15. Loose rocks are reported on the surface. Trees affect the approach to runway 15. Power lines affect the approach to runway 33. The segmented circle is overgrown and unusable.
This is a field where a careful visual check matters. The runway is elevated above the surrounding terrain. There are no safety areas at either threshold. The windsock is faded and below the tree line, so treat wind cues with caution. Float planes also operate between the north and south shores on the Aleknagik near Aleknagik Lodge and Mosquito Point. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Verify current services with the airport operator or by calling the field on CTAF before arrival.
