Wrangell Airport sits in Wrangell, Alaska. Field elevation is 44 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 10/28, which is 6,000 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.6. One ILS approach is published for runway 10. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The runway end identifier lights, VASI and high intensity runway lights are available on 10/28. The high intensity lights are controlled by CTAF. Published remarks also note rough pavement. A visual inspection before use is a good idea. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. Solid waste processing is located 2,000 ft southwest of the runway 10 threshold. The runway 10 VASI is unusable beyond 2.5 NM and does not provide obstacle clearance beyond that distance.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Fuel is available. Call the airport at 907-874-3276 for current service details. The airport is closed to aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats except with prior permission. Cargo operations over 100,000 lb need 24-hour prior permission. Taxiway B has a 12,500 lb maximum gross takeoff weight limit. For current NOTAMs, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or contact the airport manager.
