ANS Hospital (5Z4) sits in Kanakanak, Alaska at 100 ft MSL. This is a heliport, not a runway airport. No runways are listed, so plan on helicopter operations only. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits near a large bluff. Expect strong southeast gusts and turbulence. The favored approach is over water from the west. Approaches from all quadrants are reported as workable.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need local handling or fuel details. For a first-time arrival, the main issue is wind and terrain. Keep an eye on the bluff, especially in gusty southeast flow. Review the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure for any updates to local procedures or operating notes.
