Chandalar Shelf Airport (PAAG) is at Chandalar Camp, Alaska. The field elevation is 3,222 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so verify the current runway situation before you plan an arrival. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL only as a standard light-piston reference if you are operating there. Then confirm the current Chart Supplement before flight. The airport sits in a mountain valley with high terrain in all quadrants. Expect turbulence and winds. That matters here more than at a lowland strip. The published remarks also note grass on the edges of the runway area. They also note unmonitored runway condition and a bear on and near the runway. A visual inspection before landing is recommended.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current field condition, runway status and any services before you go.
