Prospect Creek Airport sits in Prospect Creek, Alaska. Field elevation is 1,094.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 4,968 ft of gravel, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 27 degrees Celsius. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before use is a good idea. Limited snow removal is available. The beacon is on the Alyeska Flight Advisory Building and is on when manned. Runway end identifier lights are installed on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights on 01/19 are controlled by CTAF. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. Expect a remote Alaska strip with winter performance and surface conditions that deserve close attention.
