Anaktuvuk Pass Airport sits in Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska. Field elevation is 2,106.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 4,800 ft long and gravel. No ILS approaches are published here.
This is an unattended field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published runway lighting is useful after dark. Medium intensity runway lights are on runway 02/20. REILs and PAPI are activated on the CTAF. The rotating beacon is also activated on the CTAF.
The airport sits in a valley with high terrain in all quadrants. Expect turbulence and wind. A visual inspection before use is recommended. This is also a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 31 degrees Celsius. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan fuel and ground support with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. For a first trip in, the terrain and weather deserve as much attention as the runway itself.
