Port Heiden Airport sits in Port Heiden, Alaska. Field elevation is 95.3 ft MSL. The airport has two gravel runways. The longest is 5,000 ft on runway 06/24. Runway 14/32 is 4,000 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard traffic pattern planning unless current local guidance says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway lights are installed on both runways. PAPI is installed on 06, 14, 24 and 32. Runway end identifier lights are on runway 14. Maintenance duty hours are 0800 to 1700. Caribou are reported near the airport in winter. The runways can be soft when wet. Safety areas and taxiways can rut after rain.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan fuel and ground support with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. For a first-time arrival, watch the gravel surface condition closely. Wet weather can change braking and taxi performance fast. The field is in coastal Alaska. Weather and surface conditions deserve extra attention before you launch.
