Chenega Bay Airport (PFCB) sits at Chenega, Alaska. Field elevation is 68.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,000 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The published remarks matter at this field. The shoulders and safety areas can be soft when wet. Water ponds in the safety areas at both ends. Runway 16 and runway 34 both have reflective cones and lights at the ends. Medium intensity runway lights on 16/34 are activated by radio on the CTAF. A radio control beacon is also listed.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current local services before arrival. Terrain is a real factor here. Rapidly rising terrain is located in the north, east and west quadrants. That makes arrival and departure planning important, especially in marginal weather or with a heavy load. The runway heading is magnetic. Runway 16 and 34 are aligned to the published magnetic directions.
