South Naknek Nr 2 Airport sits in South Naknek, Alaska. Field elevation is 162.3 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 13/31 at 3,314 ft. This is a non-towered field, so plan on CTAF work on 122.9 and standard self-announce discipline. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway surfaces are gravel-dirt. Runway 31 has short cones and lights. Visual approach slope indicator for runway 13 and the high intensity runway lights for 05/23 and 13/31 are activated on CTAF. Runway condition is unmonitored. A visual inspection before use is a good idea.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need services. Be ready for wildlife on and near the runways. Moose and bears are specifically called out. Taxiway geometry also matters here. The taxiway slopes down to the northwest. There is no line of sight between the taxiway end and runway 13/31. Heavy traffic can occur between South Naknek and Naknek airports. They are less than 2 miles apart. Review the current Chart Supplement before you go.
