Minchumina Airport sits in Minchumina, Alaska. Field elevation is 681.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 4,184 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston planning, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport remarks matter here. Runway condition is not maintained, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. The wind indicator is reported as inaccurate because trees surround it. There is also a closed cross runway west of the Runway 03 threshold with faded markings, so keep your scan tight on final and during rollout.

Published lighting includes a precision approach path indicator for Runway 03 and medium intensity runway lights for Runways 03 and 21, activated on CTAF. Snow removal operations can be on the CTAF. This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 36 degrees Celsius. No on-field FBOs are listed. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport operator directly before arrival for any current field conditions or services.
