Kasilof Airport (5KS) sits in Kasilof, Alaska at 125 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is 2,400 ft on gravel, runway 01/19, with magnetic headings 29° and 209°. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.5.
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 field has no on-field FBOs listed, so plan fuel and services through the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
The published remarks matter here. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before use is smart. The windsock sits below the tree line and may not tell the full story. There is also ATV traffic on the runway, so treat this as an active backcountry-style strip and keep your scan tight. Runway 01 edge is not marked. Runway 01/19 has 3-inch ruts. Maintenance is irregular. Parking is at the south end. Kenai Flight Service Station can be reached at 283-7211 for current information before departure.
