Emmonak Airport sits in Emmonak, Alaska near the Yukon River delta. Field elevation is 16.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 4,601 ft long and gravel. The longest runway is 4,601 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is wise. Ravens and gulls are reported on and near the airport. The runway 16/34 safety area is rough at both ends, so give yourself a conservative margin on rollout and takeoff.
Medium intensity runway lights are active on runway 16/34. VASI is available on both ends. REIL is on runway 34. Use the common traffic advisory frequency. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a short-field gravel operation in a low-elevation coastal Alaska environment. Check the current weather camera, review the runway surface, then brief your departure and landing distances with the gravel surface in mind.
