Middleton Island Airport sits on Middleton Island in Alaska. Field elevation is 100.4 ft MSL. The airport has 2 runways. The longest is Runway 02/20 at 3,158 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 13/31 is listed at 1,500 ft, but it is closed indefinitely. The published remarks also call out cones on the runways, soft safety areas on 02/20 and wildlife in the area. Runway 02 has an eagle nest on approach plus an electrical transformer within the safety area at the approach end. Runway 31 has a two foot brush at the approach end.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan fuel and service stops accordingly. The field is remote and weather can change fast on the coast, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before you go. The published weather camera on the runway edge may help with a quick look at conditions. It does not replace a proper preflight brief. Expect a simple, no-tower environment with limited runway options and a few surface and wildlife hazards that matter on arrival.
