Deering Airport sits in Deering, Alaska in the Northwest Arctic Borough. Field elevation is 29.9 ft MSL. The airport has two gravel runways. The longest is runway 03/21 at 3,320 ft. Runway 12/30 is 2,660 ft.
There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so a light piston pilot should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is in a cold-weather environment. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 39 degrees Celsius.
A few operational notes matter here. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is wise. Migratory birds, musk oxen and other large animals may be on or near the runways. Runway 03/21 is plowed in winter. Runway 03 has runway end identifier lights and a precision approach path indicator. Medium intensity runway lights are activated on both runways. The rotating beacon is activated. Runways 03 and 21, plus 12 and 30, have nonstandard markings with lights and plastic markers. The windsock is missing at runway 12. If you are new to the field, plan the arrival with those surface and wildlife issues in mind.
