RWY 27

Akutan Airport sits on Akun Island in Akutan, Alaska. Field elevation is 129.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 4,500 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. Medium intensity runway lights on 09/27 are pilot-activated through the CTAF. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,129 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport is on a small island setting, so plan for local weather and coastal conditions. A weather camera is available online for a quick look before departure. The charted remarks also say the airport is on Akun Island and that an Akutan shuttle is available. You must provide your own rope.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need ground support or fuel details. A ground communications outlet is listed on 130.3. It is activated with five clicks to Kenai Flight Service Station, though it is occasionally inoperative. For any current operational notes, lighting details, or surface condition concerns, verify with the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
