PAKC serves Coffman Cove, Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so this field is operating as a seaplane base and ramp area rather than a conventional paved strip. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. There is a narrow channel at low tide. The seaplane base float and ramp sit between the ferry terminal and the harbor. That setup makes local water and surface conditions important on arrival and departure. A weather camera is available online for a current look before you launch.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services before you go. For a first-time pilot, the main things to verify are the waterway layout, tide effects and any local operating notes in the current Chart Supplement. Magnetic variation is 26°.
