Chisana Airport sits in Chisana, Alaska at 3,348 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12/30, which is 3,000 ft long and surfaced in turf-gravel. The field is uncontrolled. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published runway headings are magnetic. Runway 12 is 153.912155992488° magnetic. Runway 30 is 333.912155992488° magnetic.

This is a rough-field environment. The Chart Supplement notes brush, loose rock, ruts and depressions on runway 12/30. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a smart call. Wildlife is reported near the runway. Two private airstrips sit perpendicular to the approach paths for runways 12 and 30. The windsock may be unreliable because of trees. Runway 12 and runway 30 thresholds and edges are marked with cones. Skis are for winter use only.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. Verify current field conditions with the airport operator before you go. In this part of Alaska, elevation and surface condition matter. Expect a short-field mindset. Plan carefully for performance. Give the runway a close look before committing to landing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the runway at CZN like for landing?

CZN has one runway, 12/30, that is 3,000 ft long with a turf-gravel surface. The Chart Supplement also notes brush, loose rock, ruts and depressions on the runway.

Is there an ILS at Chisana Airport?

No ILS approaches are published for CZN. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updates before you fly in.

What is the pattern altitude at CZN?

Pattern altitude is not published for CZN. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Is Chisana Airport towered?

No. CZN is uncontrolled, so use CTAF 122.9 for self-announced traffic calls.

What should I know about the runway condition at CZN?

Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is recommended. Wildlife is also reported near the runway. Keep your scan active on short final and rollout.

Are there any special hazards on approach to CZN?

Yes. Two private airstrips are perpendicular to the approach paths for runways 12 and 30. The windsock may be unreliable because of trees, so do not rely on it alone.

Which runway markings are used at Chisana?

Runway 12 and runway 30 thresholds and edges are marked with cones. That can help with alignment, but the field still needs a careful visual check before landing.

Are there any FBOs on the field at CZN?

No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. You can also call the field on CTAF 122.9 for current local support details.
