Thorne Bay Airport sits in Thorne Bay, Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the provided facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before planning a landing. This field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston aircraft, use 1,000 ft AGL only as a standard reference until you verify the current local procedure.
The published remarks matter here. Sea otters also use the seaplane base ramp and tie-down area, so keep a close watch on the water and ramp environment. The remarks also note the operating area in Thorne Bay. With no on-field FBOs listed, contact the airport operator directly before arrival or call the field on CTAF for current service status. Magnetic variation is 26°, so confirm any local navigation references against current charts. This is a low-elevation coastal Alaska field. Plan with weather, water operations and local traffic in mind before you go.
