Murphys Pullout (8K9) is in Ketchikan, Alaska. The field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the supplied data, so plan to verify the current landing area details before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 123.6. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL assumption for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a coastal Alaska setting, so weather and visibility can change fast. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local notes before departure. The published remarks also note that auto-dial phone access is available for Flight Service Station, ATIS, hospital, United States Coast Guard and spill response. No public float plane parking is available. Weather cameras are available online through FAA weather cameras.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. You can also call the field on CTAF for current service availability. With no published runway data and no ILS, this is a field where a current briefing matters before you commit.
