Tanis Mesa is in Yakutat, Alaska. Field elevation is 183 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 12/30 and the longest runway is 1,900 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published, so use standard traffic pattern planning for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway surface is turf grass that runs 3 to 6 inches deep. Thresholds on both ends are marked with yellow pipes. There are also 3-foot borrow pits along the runway edges. Stay centered and watch your rollout and taxi path closely.
Terrain matters here. Mountains are 1 mile north. There is a 500-foot hill 750 feet south. That makes low-level maneuvering and departure planning worth a close look, especially in marginal weather or with a heavy load. The airport was established before 1959. No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival or call the field on CTAF for current services.
