Lake Louise Airport (PAAO) sits in Lake Louise, Alaska. Field elevation is 2,480.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 2,900 ft long and gravel. The field is not towered, so use CTAF 122.9 for self-announce traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement or local traffic calls for something different. With a field elevation of 2,480.2 ft MSL, that puts the usual light-aircraft pattern near 3,480.2 ft MSL. Verify the current pattern and traffic flow before arrival.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone if you need current services. Published remarks call out reflective threshold markers on both ends of the runway, with white edge markers along the length and blue markers on the taxiway. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is smart. Expect lake float plane activity. Caribou are also reported near the runway. Winter maintenance is not available, so plan for seasonal surface and access limits.
