Chuathbaluk Airport (PACH) sits in Chuathbaluk, Alaska. Field elevation is 243.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 3,401 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston pattern unless local procedures or current Chart Supplement guidance say otherwise. The runway headings are magnetic 106° and 286°. The field has a rotating beacon that is activated by CTAF. Runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights are installed on 09/27. They are controlled by CTAF.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan to arrive self-sufficient. Published remarks also call out cold temperature operations. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 31 degrees Celsius. Runway condition is unmonitored. A visual check before use is a good idea. Frost heaves and sink holes are reported at the runway ends and ramp, so taxi and landing roll need extra attention.
