Ralph M Calhoun Meml Airport sits in Tanana, Alaska. Field elevation is 242.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 4,400 ft of gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local procedures or current airport information say otherwise. The field uses magnetic variation of 19°. Runway lighting for 07 and 25 is activated by CTAF. A visual approach slope indicator is also available for runway 07. Snow removal operations are conducted. Monitor CTAF closely. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before use is a smart call.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan to confirm services before arrival. Adjacent river floatplane traffic is part of the picture here, so keep your scan outside the runway environment. Taxiway B is unlit with 36 inch reflectors. It is closed in winter. Local weather observations are available from 0600 to 2130 on CTAF or by calling the airport number in the Chart Supplement. A weather camera is also available online for a current look at the field.
