Nome Airport sits in Nome, Alaska. Field elevation is 40.6 ft MSL. This is a two-runway field with the longest runway at 6,176 ft. The airport is non-towered, so traffic runs on CTAF 123.6. Pattern altitude is 1,100 ft AGL, which is 1,140.6 ft MSL.
Runway 03/21 is 6,176 ft of asphalt. Runway 10/28 is 6,009 ft of asphalt. There is one ILS approach. It is for runway 28. That matters here because runway 28 also has MALSR lighting. PAPI is available for runways 03, 10 and 28. REIL is available for runways 03 and 10. Runway 21 has a PAPI that is operated continuously. The field is TSA regulated. Gates and doors must be secured at all times. Aircraft rescue and fire fighting is provided only during aircraft operations.
On the field, Bering Air carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A PRIST. Crowley Aviation Fuels is also on the field with the same fuel grades. Nome is in a coastal Alaska environment, so weather and surface conditions can change fast. The airport also notes rising terrain on the runway 21 side, which can affect visual cues on final. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator for any current operational limits before you go.
