TINAK sits on Arno Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Field elevation is 4 ft MSL. No runway is listed in the facts block, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you plan the trip. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has a coral runway surface noted in the published remarks. That matters for braking. It also matters for tire wear. Wet-surface handling deserves close attention. With only 4 ft of elevation and a coastal atoll setting, expect a low-lying environment where weather and surface condition deserve close attention. Magnetic variation is 10°.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on confirming services directly with the airport operator before departure. For a first-time arrival, the key items are the lack of published instrument approaches. The non-towered traffic pattern also matters. The coral surface is another factor. Verify runway status, surface condition and any local operating notes with the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.

Frequently asked questions

What is the field elevation at N18 TINAK?
Field elevation is 4 ft MSL. That low elevation fits the atoll setting, so surface condition and weather matter more than terrain clearance.

TINAK is non-towered. Use CTAF 122.9 and standard non-towered traffic procedures unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Are there any ILS approaches at N18 TINAK?
No ILS approaches are published for TINAK. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest approach information before you file.
What is the pattern altitude at N18 TINAK?
The pattern altitude is not published in the facts block. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement gives a different value.
What runway does N18 TINAK have?
No runway is listed in the facts block. The published remarks do note a coral runway surface. Verify the current runway status with the Chart Supplement before arrival.
Is there an FBO on the field at N18 TINAK?
No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current service availability.
What should a pilot know about the runway surface at TINAK?
The published remarks say the runway surface is coral. Plan for a surface that may affect braking and tire wear, especially if it is wet or uneven.
