Kalskag Airport sits in Kalskag, Alaska. The field elevation is 63.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 3,198 ft long and gravel. The runway headings are 81° and 261° magnetic. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,063 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency for fuel and ground handling. The published remarks also call out wildlife on or near the runway. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before use makes sense. A weather camera is available online for a current look at the field. Lighting is activated on CTAF. That includes the rotating beacon, PAPI for 07 and 25 and medium intensity runway lights for 07/25. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a small uncontrolled Alaska field with a gravel surface. Local weather changes are a factor. Wildlife risk on the pavement is also a factor.
