West Point Village Airport (KWP) serves West Point Village in Alaska. The field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts for this airport, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and local conditions before planning any fixed-wing arrival. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL only as a standard planning reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in Uganik Bay. That matters here. Rocky islands are near the beach where seaplanes heel up. Waterfowl and fishing nets are also reported near the landing area. Northwest winds can bring strong downdrafts. North-south winds can create heavy swells.
No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. With no published runway data in the facts, a pilot should treat this as a place to confirm the latest surface and operating details before committing. The magnetic variation is 22°. Use current local information for any approach, landing, or water operations.
