Nancy Lake Airport (78Z) sits in Nancy Lake, Alaska. Field elevation is 214 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts block, so plan to verify current field conditions before you go. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston reference unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. With no runway data in the facts, this is a field where a current check matters before launch. Magnetic variation is 25°. That is useful for your own nav planning. Runway headings are not provided here.
Published remarks say dock, public access and camping facilities are available. Dock mooring is not available. Heel up away from the public ramp and beach is permitted. Other docks are private. Aircraft services are not available, so do not plan on fuel or other on-field support. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current availability. For any noise, access, or operating questions not covered here, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in.
