Gold King Creek is in Fairbanks, Alaska. The field elevation is 1,720 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,558 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,720 ft MSL by the standard rule of thumb. Verify the published traffic pattern before you go. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 09/27 is listed with headings 122° and 302°.
This is a rough field. Published remarks say runway condition is not monitored. A visual inspection is recommended before landing. Rocks up to 6 inches are on the runway surface. There are 20-foot trees on both sides of the runway within 60 to 70 feet of the centerline. No services are available on the field. Plan for a self-sufficient arrival and departure. Check density altitude, performance and your go-around options before committing.
