RWY 34

Toksook Bay Airport sits in Toksook Bay, Alaska at 71 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is 3,200 ft. This is a non-towered field. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The runway is 16/34 with magnetic headings of 177° and 357°. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. The airport has gravel-dirt surface, so plan for soft-field technique and a careful surface check before landing. Published remarks say birds are on and near the airport. Vehicle and ATV traffic also occurs on the runway and ramp. Runway condition is unmonitored. A visual inspection before use is recommended.

Lighting is pilot-activated by CTAF. That includes the rotating beacon, runway end identifier lights, PAPI on both ends and medium intensity runway lights on runway 16/34. The visual glide slope indicator on runway 16 is unusable beyond 9 degrees left of centerline. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. Expect random turbulent winds. For current weather, there is also an FAA weather camera available online. First-time pilots should treat this as a remote Alaska strip with limited published approach support and changing surface conditions.
