KAKE Airport (PAFE) sits in KAKE, Alaska. Field elevation is 171.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 11/29, which is 4,000 ft asphalt and the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway lighting is medium intensity on 11/29. The PAPI on runway 11 and the runway end identifier lights on runway 11 are controlled by CTAF.
If you are planning a stop here, know that airport condition is not monitored and maintenance is irregular. A visual inspection before use is recommended. Published remarks also call for day-light operations only. High terrain is north, east and south of the airport. Brush has been reported near the runway 11 threshold. Birds, bear and deer are on and near the runway. An unlit 191 ft tower sits about 6,300 ft north of runway 11. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival.
