Noatak Airport sits in Noatak, Alaska in the Northwest Arctic Borough. Field elevation is 91.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 3,992 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 01 has a PAPI. The PAPI is unusable more than 5 degrees left of centerline on runway 01. Medium intensity runway lights are available on runways 01 and 19. They are controlled by CTAF.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan fuel and service needs before arrival. Runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. This is an Alaska field, so weather and surface conditions deserve extra attention. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator for any updates before you go. A weather camera is also available online.
