Encelewski Lake (AK5) sits in Kasilof, Alaska. Field elevation is 230 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before planning any arrival. This is a non-towered field. CTAF is 122.5.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current Chart Supplement for the correct traffic pattern information before you go. Public access is at the north end of the lake. The windsock is located midlake on the west side, which is useful for picking up surface wind direction on a lake landing or departure.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on coordinating directly with the airport operator or the field by phone for current services. For a first-time pilot, the main things to verify are surface conditions, access from the north end and any local operating notes in the current Chart Supplement. The airport is in Alaska. That means weather and surface conditions can change fast. Check the latest field information before departure.
