Yankee Creek 2 (A77) sits at Yankee Creek, Alaska. Field elevation is 1,120 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts block. No control tower is published. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

This is a rough backcountry field, so the published remarks matter. The runway area is not maintained. It is soft, spongy and rutted. Brush runs along the full length and width. The usable width narrows to 7 feet because of trees and brush. There is a mountain less than 1 mile from the threshold. A short uphill final is required. Visual sight between the runway ends is not available. Downhill departures require a sharp right turn. There is also a mountain northwest of the runway. The field was established prior to 1959.

Pattern altitude is not published. For a light piston, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator says otherwise. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. In this part of Alaska, terrain and surface condition are the main issues. Check density altitude, wind and takeoff performance carefully before you go.
