Coldfoot Airport sits in Coldfoot, Alaska. Field elevation is 1,049.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 4,011 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston pattern unless local procedures or current guidance say otherwise. That puts the normal pattern near 2,049 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 18 degrees Celsius. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before use is a good idea. The runway lights and taxiway lights on 02/20 are activated by CTAF. A weather camera is available online for a quick look before departure.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan on checking with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need current services. For a first trip, pay attention to the gravel surface, the cold weather correction note and the lack of published ILS support. In this part of Alaska, weather and surface condition matter as much as runway length.
