Saginaw (A23) sits in Saginaw Bay, Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts for this field. Verify current landing options with the current FAA Chart Supplement before planning a stop. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL only if that matches current published guidance. The field is in a coastal area. Rocks and shallow water are near the area of the former float. The remarks also say no floatplane or services exist. Do not count on support on arrival.
No on-field FBOs are listed. That means fuel, tie-down help and other services should be confirmed directly with the airport operator or by phone before you go. With no tower and no published runway data in the facts, a first-time pilot should treat this as a verify-before-you-launch airport. Check the current Chart Supplement for any operational notes before flying in. Also confirm the current sectional or TAC for airspace and local terrain context.
