Adak Airport sits on Adak Island in Alaska. Field elevation is 19.5 ft MSL. The airport has one asphalt runway, 05/23, at 7,790 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the current Chart Supplement before you fly. One ILS approach is published for runway 23.
Aleut Enterprise is on the field. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts provided, so call them directly at (907) 592-8330 for current fuel options and service hours. The remarks also note fuel service from 0800 to 1700. After-hours fuel needs prior permission. A service fee applies after hours. The airport is closed from October 1 through April 30 to non-scheduled aircraft unless prior permission is obtained. There is also a published note about birds in the area. Wind shear is also noted. A volcano sits 22.3 NM away on bearing 059 degrees. That makes local weather and terrain awareness important here. Runway 23 has a nonstandard 600 ft length note. The visual glide slope indicator is unusable beyond 7 degrees right of centerline. Check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator or FBO directly before arrival if you need current operating limits or permission.
