Chistochina Airport sits in Chistochina, Alaska at 1,860.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is 2,060 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan for VFR or other non-ILS options only if they are current and appropriate for your aircraft.

The runway is 02/20. It is turf-gravel. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern about 2,860.7 ft MSL. The field is unmonitored, so a visual check before landing makes sense. Runway 02/20 is also reported as soft when wet. A highway parallels the west edge. Runway 20 has a power line crossing the approach about 450 ft from the threshold. Runway 02 and runway 20 are marked with reflective orange cones.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check the current Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before you go if you need fuel or other services. The airport has a weather camera online, which is useful for a quick look at surface conditions before departure or arrival. At this elevation in Alaska, performance planning matters. Watch density altitude, runway surface condition and your landing distance.
