Scammon Bay Airport sits in Scammon Bay, Alaska. Field elevation is 22 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 3,001 ft long and has a dirt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 1,022 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go. This field has a few operational notes that matter. The wind indicator is unreliable. Birds are present on the runway. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before landing is smart. The surface can get soft during spring breakup. It can also get soft after rain. High tide can affect it too. Runway edges are soft and slough toward tundra. A road crosses the runway. Runway 29 has only 75 ft usable at the end because of a soft safety area with large rock. Runway 11 has cones and reflective threshold panels, though the panels are damaged or missing. The rotating beacon operates on CTAF. Expect possible gusty crosswind and cold weather performance issues. This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 20 degrees Celsius.
