Kaltag Airport sits in Kaltag, Alaska. Field elevation is 181.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 3,986 ft long and surfaced with gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway is lighted. Medium intensity runway lights on 03/21 are activated by CTAF. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. The runway surface can be soft when wet. Cones mark the ends of both runway directions.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify current services with the airport operator before you go. Snow removal operations are conducted on CTAF. This is also a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 31 degrees Celsius. If you are arriving in winter or during a cold snap, factor that into your performance planning. A weather camera is available online for a quick look before departure.
