American Creek Airport (80A) sits in American Creek, Alaska. The field elevation is 513 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 1,500 ft long with a turf-gravel surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 02 is 45.9587964471407° magnetic. Runway 20 is 225.958796447141° magnetic.
There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan on self-sufficiency and verify services with the airport operator before you go. The published remarks matter here. Heavy equipment and a drag line boom are near the runway. A flyby before landing is recommended. There is also a birch forest on the threshold of runway 20. The runway has no line of sight between the ends. Rocks up to 6 inch diameter are present. The runway is also used as a road by mining equipment. Winds are reported as erratic, so expect changing conditions on final and during rollout. This is a small, non-towered field with local hazards that deserve a careful pre-landing look.
