Atqasuk Edward Burnell Sr Meml Airport sits in Atqasuk, Alaska. Field elevation is 101.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 4,370 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. Runway headings are 81° and 261° magnetic. The airport beacon operates 24 hours. Runway 07 and 25 have REILs, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights. Lighting is controlled on CTAF.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the field directly by phone before arrival for current services. Published remarks also note that runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection is recommended before use. There are 6 inch ruts about 1,800 ft from the threshold of runway 25. That matters on a gravel strip. There is also an abandoned runway visible on the north side of the community. This is a remote Alaska field, so plan for weather, surface condition and daylight carefully before you launch.
