Northway Airport sits in Northway, Alaska at 1,720.1 ft MSL. It has one runway, 06/24, which is 5,100 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF is 123.6. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and weather in mind.
The published pattern altitude is not given. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field uses magnetic variation of 17°. Runway 24 has REILs. Both runway ends have PAPI. Medium intensity runway lights are on 06 and 24. They are controlled on CTAF.
This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 48 C. Runway condition is unmonitored. A visual inspection before landing is recommended. Strong and variable crosswinds are reported on runway 06/24. A ski strip also parallels and sits next to the northwest side of runway 24. Foreign arrivals need a two-hour prior permission request, normally between 1800Z and 0000Z. If you are arriving from outside the U.S., verify the current Customs process before you go.
