Port Bailey Airport sits in Port Bailey, Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. There are no listed runways here. The operating area is in Dry Spruce Bay. That matters because the Chart Supplement notes heavy swells in northeast and west winds. The beaching area sits between buildings, so it can give some wind protection. It is also very confined. Water fowl are in the vicinity of the landing area, so keep that in mind on approach and while maneuvering.

There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-briefing the field and confirming current conditions before arrival. This is a coastal Alaska strip with water operations, so wind, swell and surface conditions deserve close attention. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for any current local procedures before you go.
