Alakanuk Airport (PAUK) sits in Alakanuk, Alaska. The field elevation is 21.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 4,000 ft long and surfaced gravel-dirt. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lights on 16/34 are activated by CTAF. The rotating beacon is also activated by CTAF.

This is a low-elevation Alaska field with a simple layout, but runway condition is not monitored. Plan a visual inspection before landing. Waterfowl are reported on and near the airport, so expect wildlife on the runway environment. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. With no tower and no published ILS, a current weather check and a solid VFR plan matter here.
