PAAH is the airport at Kantishna, Alaska. It sits at 1,578 ft MSL in a canyon setting, so expect terrain and wind effects to matter on arrival and departure. The field has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 1,887 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The runway headings are magnetic. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light aircraft pattern at 2,578 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The runway is in a canyon. Expect wind shear. A road lies east of the runway. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a smart move if conditions allow. Limited transient parking is available.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on confirming services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. Private rotorwing aircraft are not authorized except in emergencies. For a first-time pilot, the big items are the short gravel-dirt strip, the canyon winds and the lack of published instrument approach support. Check the current Chart Supplement and current field conditions before you launch.
