East Alsek River Airport sits near Yakutat, Alaska. Field elevation is 39 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 1,500 ft long and turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. The field is a simple backcountry strip, so expect to work the airplane carefully on the turf surface. The published remarks say the runway safety area rises and falls by about 12 inches. Keep good centerline control. The tree path is cut to 80 ft. The surface can be soft in spring or during heavy rain. A tree-mounted wind indicator is partially obscured.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need local services. The remarks also note bears and all-terrain vehicles in the vicinity of the runway. This is a good place to stay alert on the ground as well as in the pattern. The field has been established since before 1959, so plan on a basic strip with limited published support rather than a fully developed airport.
