Pilot Station Airport sits in Pilot Station, Alaska. The field elevation is 473 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 4,000 ft long and surfaced with gravel and dirt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts pattern work at about 1,473 ft MSL based on field elevation. Confirm the published traffic pattern before you go. Runway condition is unmonitored, so plan a careful visual check before landing. The rotating beacon is activated on CTAF. Medium intensity runway lights for 04/22 are also activated on CTAF.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify services with the airport operator or the field on CTAF before arrival. For a first-time arrival, the big items are the gravel-dirt surface, the unmonitored runway condition and the lack of published instrument approach support. In Alaska, weather and visibility can change fast. Make sure your alternate and fuel plan are solid before you launch.
