Shageluk Airport sits in Shageluk, Alaska. Field elevation is 78.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,400 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. No tower is published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published for PAHX. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lighting notes matter here. Runway 34 has an end identifier light and a PAPI. Runways 16 and 34 have medium intensity runway lights. The field also has a published note that runway condition is unmonitored. Plan a visual inspection before landing.
This airport is in a remote Alaska setting. Flooding can happen during breakup. The surface can be soft after heavy rain. Seaplane base operations also occur in the Innoko River next to the village. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need local support or fuel details. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a short-field, surface-condition-sensitive stop and verify the latest field status before you launch.
