Crooked Creek Airport (PACJ) sits in Crooked Creek, Alaska. The field elevation is 177.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 3,300 ft long and gravel. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. With the field in rural Alaska, expect a simple non-towered environment. Plan for local weather, surface condition and daylight carefully.

The published remarks matter here. The first 100 ft of runway 32 is indefinitely closed. The runway also slopes down to the south. Line of sight between the ends is not available, so a careful low pass or taxi check makes sense before committing to landing. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before use is a good idea. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call on CTAF before arrival.
