Totatlanika River Airport (9AK) is in Totatlanika River, Alaska. The field elevation is 2,717 ft MSL. It is a non-towered airport with CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The airport has one runway, 07/25. The published remarks say it is for emergency use only. The runway surface is 4 inches of rough rock. The notes also say there is a 50-foot rise and fall. The field sits on a hill. Severe turbulence is expected. Brush is reported at the east end. The wind sock is inoperative.
For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft only if the current Chart Supplement or local guidance supports it. At this field, the runway slope and terrain matter more than a normal pattern picture. The remarks also say to land on runway 25 and depart runway 07. That is useful local guidance, but verify current conditions before you go. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan to confirm services with the airport operator or by calling ahead. This is an older strip, established before 1959, so expect a basic backcountry-style setup rather than normal paved-airport amenities.
