Yes Bay Lodge Airport (78K) sits in Yes Bay, Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed for this field, so plan on checking the current FAA Chart Supplement and working the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF is 122.9.
This is a float operation, not a conventional runway airport. The published remarks say summer operations are the norm. Boats are tied at the float. The inlet has logs and debris in the water. Reef and islands sit in the middle of the inlet. Stream current affects taxiing, so expect water handling to matter as much as your approach. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston planning, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the working pattern at 1,000 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Verify services, fuel availability and any local operating notes before arrival. This is the kind of place where a quick call ahead can save you from a bad surprise on the water.
