Nuiqsut Airport sits in Nuiqsut, Alaska at 45.4 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 4,589 ft of gravel, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.8 for traffic calls.
No ILS approaches are published here. The published lighting is useful for night work. MALSF is active on runway 05. REIL is on runway 23. PAPI is available on both ends. Medium intensity runway lighting is also available on 05 and 23. The runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use caution with local traffic and verify the current pattern altitude before arrival. Airspace determination is pending, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement or the current sectional before you go. Birds and caribou are present on and near the airport. There is also a 100-foot lighted tower 847 feet north of the runway 23 threshold. No on-field FBOs are listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field for current fuel and service availability. The manager phone extension is 342. For flight service, use Deadhorse FSS at 907 659-2401 or Fairbanks FSS at 1-866-248-6516.
