Larsen Bay Airport sits in Larsen Bay, Alaska in the Aleutian East Borough. Field elevation is 86.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 2,690 ft long and gravel. No tower is published here. CTAF is 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement and local traffic calls before arrival. The runway is marked at both thresholds with lights, plastic reflectors and threshold panels. Medium intensity runway lights on 04/22 are activated by CTAF. The rotating beacon is also CTAF-activated.
This is a field where a visual inspection matters. Runway condition is not monitored. The published remarks also note soft overrun on runway 04 with deep ruts. Loose 3 inch to 6 inch rocks are reported along the southeast runway edge for the full length. The runway slopes down toward the midpoint. That makes a careful taxi and landing plan important, especially in changing light or after weather. No on-field FBOs are listed. Verify fuel and services with the airport operator or by calling the field before you go. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published restrictions before flying in.
