Kivalina Airport sits in Kivalina, Alaska. Field elevation is 18.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 3,000 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current traffic pattern in the Chart Supplement before you go. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 12/30 is marked with reflective cones. Medium intensity runway lights and the rotating beacon are both activated on 122.8.
Plan for soft surfaces. The Chart Supplement notes numerous soft spots on runway 12/30 from May through October. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. The parking apron is 1,500 ft south of the runway 30 threshold. The old runway is used as a taxiway to reach it. Approach to runway 30 is over the town. Birds are reported near the dump on approach to runway 12. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current service details.
