Rampart Airport sits in Rampart, Alaska. Field elevation is 306.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 3,520 ft long and surfaced with gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lighting is activated by CTAF. That includes the rotating beacon. Runway 11 also has runway end identifier lights and PAPI activated by CTAF.
The published remarks matter here. Winter snow removal takes place. Frequent crosswinds and turbulence occur from each runway end. The runway condition is not monitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good habit. The runway also slopes gradually uphill from the river. That can affect your landing picture and rollout, especially if you are new to the strip.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need services. For any current noise, surface, or operational changes, verify the latest FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
