Atmautluak Airport sits in Atmautluak, Alaska. Field elevation is 18.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 3,000 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 15/33 is listed with magnetic headings of 166° and 346°.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current service availability. Published remarks matter here. The runway end identifier lights and PAPI are on both ends. The PAPI on runway 15 is unusable more than 8 degrees right of centerline. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before landing makes sense. Birds are in the area. The runway, taxiway and ramp have 4 to 6 inch dips and ruts. The runway also sinks and slopes east. That is worth planning for on takeoff and landing, especially in a light airplane.
