PAKA is the airport serving Tatitlek, Alaska. It sits at 61.9 ft MSL. The field has one runway, 13/31, which is 3,701 ft of gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. The runway lighting on 13/31 is medium intensity and is activated by CTAF. That matters after dark or in lower visibility. The published remarks also call out high terrain northwest to southeast. Runway 13 threshold is 45 ft higher than the opposite end. Runway 31 slopes up. The runway surface is not maintained, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. The safety area has rough sides with potholes and large rocks. There are also rocks in the water area at low tide. Segmented circles are overgrown. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
