The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,267.6 ft MSL based on field elevation, but verify before you fly. The runway surface is gravel-dirt. Published remarks say runway condition is not monitored. A visual check before landing is recommended. The surface can be soft when wet. Grass and weeds are growing on the runway. Ruts up to 4 inches are reported. No winter maintenance or snow removal is performed.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current services before arrival. Wildlife and birds are reported on and near the runway. Mountain ridges lie north and south of the field. Weather reports, when available, are provided hourly only. Plan for a remote Alaska strip with limited support. Use a current sectional or the FAA Chart Supplement for any updates before departure.
