Big Lake Airport (PAGQ) sits in Big Lake, Alaska. Field elevation is 162.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 2,450 ft long and gravel. The longest runway is 2,450 ft.
There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.8. The published approach and departure frequency is 118.6 for Anchorage. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field also has medium intensity runway lighting on runway 07/25. It is activated on 122.8.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Transient aircraft parking is available. Look for the green cones. Published remarks call out an updraft off the rising hill on approach to runway 25. They also note a 190 ft AGL lighted tower 2 NM northeast of the airport. Watch for frost heave on the runway. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before use is smart. There is also a 15-foot wide road parallel to the end of runway 07. Expect occasional ultralight traffic. Low flying aircraft are in the vicinity of the approach to Big Lake VOR.
