D&C Fire Lake Flying Club is in Eagle River, Alaska. The field elevation is 295 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so this is a water-based field and you should verify current operating details before you go. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement and local guidance for the correct arrival picture.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. CTAF is 123.0. UNICOM is 123.0. Published remarks say there is a public beaching area in the southwest corner of the lake. There is no dock. The beach is steeply sloped with rocks up to 4 inches on the beach. A road is within 15 feet of the shoreline at the beaching area. That makes the shoreline setup important for anyone planning a stop.
Transient overnight parking is available. Call before arrival at 907-250-7834. All other property on the lake is private and non-commercial. For a first-time pilot, the key point is to treat this as a lake operation with limited facilities. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and call the airport operator or the field by phone before arrival for the latest status.
