Jakes Bar (AK0) sits near McCarthy, Alaska. Field elevation is 1,074 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 1,000 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless local conditions or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. The field is in a remote part of Alaska. Expect short-field planning. Expect limited margin. Check the surface before you commit.
The published remarks matter here. The runway is an unimproved river gravel bar. It is very rough. Rocks up to 15 inches in diameter are reported. It is suitable only for conventional gear aircraft. Runway condition is not monitored. A visual inspection before landing is recommended. Turbulence can show up in any wind.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. Verify current field conditions with the airport operator before arrival. For any change in published procedures or local restrictions, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
