Buckland Airport (PABL) sits in Buckland, Alaska. The field elevation is 29 ft MSL. It has one runway, 11/29, which is 3,200 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The runway lights on 11/29 are medium intensity lights that you activate by CTAF. The visual approach slope indicators on 11 and 29 operate continuously. The runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before use is a good idea.
This field is in the Northwest Arctic Borough. Waterfowl are reported in the area from spring through fall. Summer crosswinds can get turbulent on 11/29, so plan for a careful wind check before arrival. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services before you launch.
