RWY 35

Kipnuk Airport is in Kipnuk, Alaska. The field elevation is 19.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 3,200 ft long and gravel. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.7.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current local guidance says otherwise. The runway headings are 183° and 3° magnetic. That matters here because the magnetic variation is 10°.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival if you need fuel or ground support. Published remarks say the runway lights on 17/35 are activated by CTAF. The runway surface is irregular. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before use is a good idea. Expect frequency crosswinds. Birds are in the vicinity of the runway. The taxiway has dips and ponding. There are also unlighted wind turbines about 0.5 NM northwest. The wind indicator is unreliable, so do not rely on it alone for the landing decision.
