Chignik Airport sits in Chignik, Alaska at 18.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 2,600 ft of gravel. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. The field is in a coastal setting with seabirds on and near the airport. Runway 02 and 20 are marked with orange reflective cones. The runway is not maintained. A visual inspection before use is a good idea. Mountains southwest of the airport can produce frequent severe turbulence. That matters here more than most places.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival if you need current services. A seaplane operating area is in the lake east of the airport. Pilots should plan for gravel surface operations. They should also plan for changing runway condition. Local weather can shift quickly in this part of Alaska. The owner phone number in the Chart Supplement is 907-269-0760.
