Chevak Airport is in Chevak, Alaska. The field elevation is 60.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 3,220 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a place where crosswinds are expected. Runway 02/20 is used as a road. The first 200 ft of runway 02 is rough. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before use makes sense. Birds are reported on and near the airport.
Lighting is pilot-activated. Medium intensity runway lights for 02/20 are turned on with 122.8. The runway end identifier lights and PAPI on both ends are activated on CTAF. Beacon activation is also on CTAF. The beacon has nonstandard flashing. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport manager at 907-543-2498 for current field details. For weather, FAA weather cameras are available online. A first-time arrival should plan for a gravel strip, keep an eye on crosswind limits and verify the runway surface before landing.
