Council Airport sits in Council, Alaska. Field elevation is 100 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 3,000 ft of turf, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston pattern unless local procedures or current chart data say otherwise. The published runway headings are magnetic. Runway 10/28 is marked with cones and threshold panels. The threshold panels are faded to white. Tall grass is reported on the runway and ramp. The runway is not maintained during winter. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing makes sense here.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify current field conditions before departure. For a first-time arrival, the main issues are the turf surface, winter maintenance and the need to judge the runway yourself from the air. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport operator directly if you need current operational details before you go.
