Homer-Beluga Lake is in Homer, Alaska. The field elevation is 25 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts for this airport, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before you plan a landing. There is no control tower. CTAF is 123.6. No ILS approaches are published.
The published traffic pattern altitude is 1,000 ft AGL for fixed-wing aircraft. Rotary-wing traffic uses 600 ft AGL and below. That matters here because the airport is a lake environment with water traffic and recreational use. Surface condition is unmonitored. A visual inspection is recommended before use. Waterfowl are in the vicinity. The public dock is at the northwest corner of the lake for loading and unloading only. Tie downs are not available. An old piling is beside the public dock near the shore.
Operations hours are 0545 to 2145. Outside those times, contact Kenai Flight Service Station. 100LL fuel is available May through September. Contact 907-299-5494 for current availability. A weather camera is available online. First-time pilots should be ready for a non-standard lake operation, with no published runway layout and no published ILS. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local restrictions before you go.
