RWY 28

Skwentna Airport (PASW) is in Skwentna, Alaska. The field elevation is 148 ft MSL. It has one runway, 10/28, which is 3,400 ft long and gravel. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 10/28 is equipped with medium intensity runway lights. The rotating beacon is activated on CTAF.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan on confirming services directly with the airport operator or by calling the field before arrival. Published remarks note reflective cones and threshold panels on both runway ends. There is also a 200-foot path cut through trees at the approach end of runway 10. An ATV road crosses the runway 900 ft from the threshold of runway 10. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. Two 100-foot towers sit 1.5 NM west. They are noted as soft in spring. For current weather, a FAA weather camera is available online. This is a gravel strip in Alaska, so expect seasonal surface and braking changes. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.
