ATKA is in Atka, Alaska. The field elevation is 55.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 4,500 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway headings are 165° and 345° magnetic. The runway markings are worn. Runway 34 has a paved and gravel safety area beyond the end. There is also a washout on the east side outside the runway lights, so a careful preflight look at the surface makes sense before you commit.
No on-field FBOs are listed. For current fuel or service availability, contact the airport operator or the field directly by phone. Published remarks also note gulls and eagles along the Nazan Bay shoreline. That matters for arrival and departure planning. Runway condition is not maintained, so a visual inspection before use is recommended. Ground communications are available on 122.15 by clicking the microphone four times for Kenai Flight Service Station. Automatic weather is also available on the CTAF by clicking the microphone four times.
