Point Baker (PFKP) sits in Point Baker, Alaska at 0 ft MSL. This is a seaplane base. No runways are listed. No ILS approaches are published. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.
There is no published pattern altitude. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedure says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. The operating area is narrow and congested with small islands at both entrances to the cove. The float is deteriorated, so be careful when loading near capacity. The seaplane float is designed to support a maximum gross weight of 22,000 pounds for helicopters. Boats are tied to the seaplane base. Boats are also stored on the transient ramp.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan to verify current services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. With no runway surface published and no ILS on the field, this is a place to brief the water landing, watch the cove geometry and keep a close eye on traffic and floating obstacles before you commit.
