Chandalar Lake Airport (PALR) is at Chandalar Lake, Alaska. The field elevation is 1,920 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 3,000 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The airport is unattended. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The airport is high enough that density altitude can matter on warm days. The runway also slopes downhill 4 percent from north to south. That can change your takeoff and landing picture. The runway is not maintained and its condition is not monitored. A visual inspection before landing is recommended.
This is a ski-aircraft field in winter. Only ski-equipped aircraft are permitted then. There is no winter maintenance. Runway 04 and 22 have nonstandard markings. Thresholds are marked with reflective boards. There are no edge markers. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement before arrival if you need current field condition details or local operating notes.
