A43 is at Taku Harbor in Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts, so treat this as a seaplane or floatplane operating area rather than a conventional paved strip. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator gives you something different. The published remarks call out wing and tail clearance near the dock and pier. They also say float space is limited or may not be available because of boats. That matters here. Plan your water handling and tie-down expectations before you arrive.

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call on CTAF for current services before you go. The field sits in a coastal Alaska environment at sea level. Expect water operations, changing traffic around the harbor and limited room to maneuver near fixed structures. Verify current local procedures before arrival.
