Quartz Creek / Kougarok Airport is in Quartz Creek, Alaska. Field elevation is 416 ft MSL. This is an uncontrolled airport with CTAF 122.9. No tower is published. No ILS approaches are published. The field has one runway, 12/30, but the Chart Supplement notes serious surface issues. The runway is not maintained. It has washouts near the 12 threshold, loose gravel, rocks up to 7 inches and no line of sight between the ends. The north half also has humps, dips and grass growth. Threshold and edge markers are orange cones. Threshold panels are broken and faded.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard pattern planning only if current local guidance supports it. The airport sits in a remote Alaska setting. That means you should expect limited services and a surface that can change fast. The published remarks make a visual inspection before landing a must. If you are planning a first visit, treat this as a rough-field operation and verify current conditions with the airport operator before departure. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
