Tazlina/Smokey Lake (5AK) sits in Tazlina, Alaska. Field elevation is 2,415.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. It is a 2,280 ft water runway, 06W/24W. This is a non-towered field. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 3,415.4 ft MSL based on field elevation. The magnetic variation listed for the field is 27°.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. The published remarks say the lodge is closed. Docks are not available. There is a private ramp and hangar southwest of the lodge. That matters for arrival planning on the water. Verify current access and tie-down options with the airport operator before you go. In this part of Alaska, the higher field elevation also means performance planning matters. Check density altitude, weight and takeoff distance before committing.
