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.
This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 8 degrees Celsius. Winds of 16 knots or more can show up in the northeast, east and northwest quadrants. Wind can also funnel down the canyon west of runway 08. Runway 08 can be soft during spring breakup and after heavy rain. The PAPI on runway 08 is unusable beyond 5 degrees left and right of centerline. No on-field FBOs are listed. The published remarks give an FBO service phone number of 907-497-2683 for current help before arrival.
