RWY 16

Seldovia Airport sits in Seldovia, Alaska. Field elevation is 29 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 1,845 ft long and surfaced with gravel. This is an uncontrolled field with CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Self-announce on CTAF within 5 NM when taking off or clearing the runway. Night operations are not authorized. The runway is unmaintained, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. Expect wind shear on approach to runway 16. Expect turbulence with southeast or southwest wind. Cones mark both runway ends. The safety area is 500 ft for runway 16. The safety area is 230 ft for runway 34.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator directly before arrival if you need current services. The owner can be reached at 907-235-5127. For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the short gravel strip, the lack of published ILS support and the local wind effects. This is a small Alaska field. Give yourself time to assess runway condition and wind before you commit.
