Yakutat Airport sits in Yakutat, Alaska at 39.7 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 11/29 at 7,732 ft. The other runway is 02/20 at 6,475 ft. This is an untowered field, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 123.6.
The airport has one ILS approach to runway 11. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. Yakutat Aviation Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (907) 784-3087 for current services.
A few local items matter here. Birds and wildlife are reported on and near the runway. Permafrost is active in the runway area, so a visual inspection before use is recommended. Taxiways C and A1 are closed during aircraft operations and for 15 minutes after for jet blast. Runway 02/20 has high intensity lights. MALSR lighting is available on runways 11 and 29. Runway end identifier lights on 02/20 are out of service from October 1 to May 1. If you are planning a larger aircraft, note that operations over 30 passenger seats need 24 hour prior written permission from the airport manager.
