Circle Hot Springs Airport sits in Circle Hot Springs, Alaska. Field elevation is 870.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 3,669 ft long and surfaced with gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,870 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. Published remarks matter here. The first 1,000 ft of runway 27 is unusable because of heaves and brush. There is rising terrain southeast of runway 09. There is also rising terrain southwest of runway 27. Runway maintenance and snow removal are not available. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is recommended. Summer retardant aircraft operations may also occur.
For current special use airspace information, use the published phone numbers in the Chart Supplement before departure. This is a remote Alaska strip with gravel surface, terrain nearby and no published precision approach support. Preflight planning should be conservative, especially if you are arriving with marginal weather or a heavier load.
