Selawik Airport sits in Selawik, Alaska. Field elevation is 17.1 ft MSL. It has two gravel runways. The longest is 3,002 ft on runway 04/22. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,017 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before you fly. Runway headings are magnetic. Runway 04/22 is 53°/233°. Runway 09/27 is 106°/286°.

The airport has a few items worth planning for. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before use is smart. Lighting is CTAF-activated. Runway 04 has a visual approach slope indicator. Runway 27 has a precision approach path indicator. Medium intensity runway lights are available for both runways. The rotating beacon is also CTAF-activated.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need services. Selawik is in the Northwest Arctic Borough. Weather camera coverage is available online, which can help with a quick look at local conditions before departure.
