Wainwright Airport sits in Wainwright, Alaska. Field elevation is 45.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 4,494 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard light piston pattern planning at 1,000 ft AGL unless current local guidance says otherwise. The runway lighting is pilot-controlled on CTAF. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 06 and 24. Precision approach path indicators are also on both ends.
This is a field where surface condition matters. The Chart Supplement remarks say runway condition is unmonitored. A visual inspection before landing is a good idea. Ramp and taxiway surfaces are soft. Ruts and ponding are possible. Birds are also reported on and near the airport. There is a 40-foot tower 500 feet north of the runway, so keep that in mind on departure and arrival. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the field directly before you go.
