Baranof Warm Springs Float and Seaplane Float sits in Baranof, Alaska, in Warm Springs Bay. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed here. This is a seaplane base, so plan on water operations instead of a paved strip. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston planning, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. The field uses magnetic variation of 27°.
Published remarks matter here. A gangway gives landing slide access from April through November. Boats may be tied to the float dock. The area can see occasional turbulence and wind shear at low elevation. Heavy waterfall current can shove an aircraft into the float during certain tide conditions. High terrain surrounds the landing zone, so expect a confined environment and stay sharp on wind, tide and terrain effects. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. Call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current FBO availability.
