RWY 08

Flat Airport sits in FLAT, Alaska. Field elevation is 343 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 4,045 ft long and uses turf-gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway is unmaintained. The published remarks say the north 150 ft is unusable. Trees, grass and shrubs line the runway. The surface can be soft when wet. A visual inspection before landing makes sense here.

Published remarks also note 3-foot orange cones and threshold panels near both runway ends. They may be overgrown and hard to see. Runway 08 and Runway 26 both have that note. The airport was established before 1959.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current service status. For a first-time arrival, the main items are the unmaintained surface, the soft-wet condition and the unusable north end of the runway. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or operating notes before you go.
