Skagway Airport sits in Skagway, Alaska at 44 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 3,550 ft long and paved. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance says otherwise. For a field this close to terrain, that is only a starting point. The published remarks call for daylight operations only. They also warn that departure from runway 02 needs a strong climb because of terrain. A dogleg east may be used after takeoff to build altitude. Stay on runway heading for at least one-half mile before turning so you do not drift toward the school and playground. Approach to runway 20 is in a narrow canyon with turbulence and high obstacles. The school and playground are also near that end.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Fuel availability is published for 100LL only. Weekday service and after-hours contact numbers are in the Chart Supplement. Light aircraft and helicopter traffic is common from June 1 through September 15. The airport also has a few operating limits. Aircraft over 30 passenger seats are not authorized. Aircraft over 12,500 pounds gross weight are not authorized without prior written permission from the airport manager.
