Akhiok Airport sits in Akhiok, Alaska. The field elevation is 44.4 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 3,120 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or current Chart Supplement remarks say otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,044 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you fly.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan for self-sufficiency on the ground. The published remarks matter here. Birds are in the area. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before landing is a good idea. The northeast 1,040 ft of the runway has 2 inches of puddled water. Orange cones mark both thresholds. The reflective threshold markers can be hard to see on final. There is also a central obstruction near runway 04 that exceeds a 45 degree slope. That makes a careful stabilized approach important, especially if you are arriving to 04. The airport is in coastal Alaska, so expect weather and surface conditions to change fast. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before departure.
