Shaktoolik Airport sits in Shaktoolik, Alaska. Field elevation is 24.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 4,001 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston aircraft, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The field is low and coastal. Wet runway performance can change fast here. The published remarks say ponding and slippery conditions can occur when the runway is wet. Runway condition is also unmonitored. A visual inspection before landing is a good idea.
The published remarks also note lights and cones at both runway ends. Runway end identifier lights, a PAPI on runway 33 and medium intensity runway lights on 15/33 are activated via CTAF. The airport has been surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey. There is no on-field FBO listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services before you go. The remarks also say the airport is maintained for daylight hours by a local airline. Non-scheduled aircraft may not get a response.
