Wrangell Airport sits in Wrangell, Alaska at field elevation 0 ft MSL. This field has no runways listed in the provided data. No tower is published. CTAF is 122.6. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so confirm the current traffic pattern in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
This is a coastal harbor environment, so expect water and boat traffic to matter as much as the airport itself. The published remarks say the harbor is exposed to west wind, which can build waves. Do not land in the harbor. Heavy boat traffic is a known issue. A flashing light is reported at the end of the breakwater. Boats are tied to the SPB float ramp, so watch your spacing and taxi plan near the waterfront.
Service is available at the airport. Avgas is available across the harbor by phone at (907) 874-2388. No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts provided. If you need current fuel, tie-down, or ramp details, call the airport operator or the FBO directly before arrival. A weather camera is available online through the FAA weather camera system, which can help with a quick look at local conditions before launch.
