RWY 05

Beaver Airport (PAWB) sits in Beaver, Alaska. The field elevation is 364.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 05/23, which is 3,934 ft long and surfaced gravel-dirt. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,365 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify the current published pattern before you go. Winter operations matter here. Snow removal occurs during the winter. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. An active road crosses the runway 1,000 ft from the 05 threshold. Medium intensity runway lights on 05/23 are activated by CTAF. The rotating beacon is also CTAF-activated. No on-field FBOs are listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services. For current weather, there is a FAA weather camera available online. Pilots should also check the current Chart Supplement for any local notes before arrival.
