Sitka Seaplane Base (A29) sits in Sitka, Alaska at 0 ft MSL. This is a seaplane base, so no runways are listed in the facts. CTAF is 123.6. No tower is published here. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures say otherwise.
The field has one transient parking stall. One transient tie-down ramp is also available. All other stalls are leased. Contact the manager for details before you go. The published remarks also call out boats near the dock and float ramp. Birds are a factor here too. Expect seagulls and other traffic on and near the water. The float is reported to be very slippery and in poor condition, so plan your arrival and departure with care.
