King Cove Airport sits in King Cove, Alaska. Field elevation is 148.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 3,500 ft long with a gravel and dirt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has activated runway end identifier lights on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are also published for 08/26. PAPI is available on both runway ends. The runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea.
