RWY 25

Kulik Lake Airport (PAKL) sits at Kulik Lake in Alaska. Field elevation is 717 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 4,400 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The published runway headings are magnetic 86°/266°. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. For light piston planning, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance says otherwise. The field sits in a remote part of Alaska, so weather, wind and surface condition matter a lot more than they do at a paved lower-48 strip. The published remarks call for extreme caution in high and gusty wind. They also note loose 2 to 5 inch stones on the runway surface. That is worth factoring into tire, prop and braking planning.

There is no on-field FBO listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need current services. The remarks also note heavy bear activity on the runway during summer. The east 2,000 feet is on national park land and open to the public. The west 2,600 feet is on private land and closed to the public. The west-end ramp is privately owned. Yellow barrels mark the property line.
