RWY 10

Karluk Airport sits in Karluk, Alaska. Field elevation is 141.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 2,000 ft of gravel, so plan for short-field performance and soft-field handling. This is an uncontrolled field with CTAF 122.8. No tower is published. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local conditions or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. The runway environment has a few things worth checking before you commit. Runway 28 is partially overgrown. Runway 10 and 28 are marked with orange reflective cones. The segmented circle marker is damaged and overgrown by alders. Summer embankments and safety areas can be soft. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection is smart before landing.

Terrain matters here. Mountains are on the south side of the runway. Hills are 2 miles southeast of the Runway 28 threshold. Expect to pay attention to wind, density altitude and go-around planning. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone if you need current fuel or service information. A weather camera is available online for a quick look before departure.
