Unalakleet Airport sits in Unalakleet, Alaska. Field elevation is 27.3 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 15/33 at 5,900 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 123.0. One ILS approach is published for runway 15.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light-piston pattern reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. West Coast Aviation Services is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. Call (907) 624-3461 for current service details before arrival.

A few published remarks matter here. Transient parking is near the Department of Transportation maintenance building and the runway 27 threshold. Snow removal and deicing are not available from 1600 to 0800. Runway condition is unmonitored. Plan a visual inspection before landing if conditions are uncertain. There is also a 299-foot tower 2.4 NM east. A 100-foot unlighted tower sits 0.4 NM north of the runway 15 threshold. Runway 15 and runway 33 have high intensity lighting. Runway 09 and runway 27 have medium intensity lighting. All lighting is controlled by CTAF. For a first-time arrival, pay close attention to the terrain-free but weather-prone Alaska environment. Also note the unmonitored surface and the tower and lighting notes before you commit to final.
