Klawock Airport sits in Klawock, Alaska at 79.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 5,000 ft long and asphalt. The field is non-towered. CTAF is 120.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport has activated PAPI for both runway ends, medium intensity runway lights, apron lights on 122.25 and an activated rotating beacon on CTAF. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Verify services with the airport operator or the field directly before you go.
First-time pilots should pay close attention to the published terrain and obstacle notes. The runway environment includes roads near both ends. Runway 20 also has a 700 ft hill about 2 miles northeast of the threshold. The field is also marked for irregular wind conditions, so expect the pattern and landing picture to change quickly. Cold temperature corrections apply at or below minus 10 degrees Celsius. The airport is closed to aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats. Aircraft over 12,500 lb require prior permission from the airport manager.
