El Capitan Lodge (5C5) is in Craig, Alaska. The field elevation is 14 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is 15W/33W at 7,205 ft on water, with magnetic headings of 171° and 351°. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits at a fishing lodge. That matters for traffic and surface activity. Published remarks also call out boating activity near the seaplane base. Keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan on confirming services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. For a first visit, the main things to brief are the water runway, the lodge traffic and the marine traffic nearby. This is a low-elevation coastal field, so weather and water conditions can change the picture fast. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any operational notes before flight.
