PAOB is the airport serving Kobuk, Alaska. The field elevation is 142.2 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 4,020 ft long and gravel. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan on self-sufficiency before you go. The published remarks matter here. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. There is a parallel power line north of the runway. Runway 09 has a dip abeam the slough at the departure end. Float plane operations also occur on the lake, so expect mixed traffic in the area. The airport is cold-weather sensitive. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 37 degrees Celsius.
This is a remote Alaska field with gravel surface and no tower. Check density altitude, surface condition and winds before committing. The runway lights on 09/27 are medium intensity. They are activated by CTAF. A weather camera is available online for a current look at conditions.
