Galbraith Lake Airport (PAGB) sits at Galbraith Lake in Alaska. Field elevation is 2,662.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 5,182 ft long and gravel. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not given, so use the current Chart Supplement before you fly. The runway headings are 152° and 332° magnetic. Published remarks note an omnidirectional approach lighting system on runway 14. PAPI is available on runways 14 and 32. It is controlled by CTAF. The field also has 100-foot overruns.
This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 32 degrees Celsius. Limited snow removal is available. The runway surface condition is unmaintained, so a visual inspection before use is a good idea. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly or the FBO directly by phone for current services before arrival. For a first-time arrival, plan for gravel surface operations, cold-weather performance and reduced winter support. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local operating notes before you go.
