Healy River Airport sits in Healy, Alaska at 1,275 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 2,910 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 14 degrees Celsius. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual check before landing is a good idea. The runway has nonstandard threshold markings on 15/33. The threshold is marked by panels, cones and lights. Medium intensity runway lights are activated by CTAF. Turbulent winds are common in the area. The airport is also 2 statute miles southwest of Usibelli Mine.

Fuel is available on the field. Full service avgas and Jet A are available during normal business hours from May to September. They are also available by call out year round and after hours. Call 907-683-2359 for current availability. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Expect a small-field Alaska environment. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local notes before you go.
