False Pass Airport sits in False Pass, Alaska. Field elevation is 18.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 2,150 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. It is an uncontrolled field with CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
There are no on-field FBOs listed here. Plan fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. The published remarks matter here. The runway can get soft or unusable in spring and after heavy rain. A visual check before use is recommended because runway condition is not monitored. There are no edge markers on runway 14/32. Mountainous terrain is near the runway. Expect frequent turbulence and high winds in the area. Bears and large birds are reported along the beach next to the runway. Vehicles also use the runway to reach the beach, so keep your scan active on approach and after landing.
