Akiachak Airport sits in Akiachak, Alaska. Field elevation is 22.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 3,300 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway lights, reflective cones and the threshold are marked on both ends. The rotating beacon is activated on CTAF. Medium intensity runway lights are available for runway 02/20. The windsock is on CTAF too.
Plan for a rough-field check before landing. Runway condition is unmonitored. A visual inspection is recommended before use. Heaves and dips are present along the full length of the runway. That makes a careful arrival and departure briefing important, especially if you are new to gravel or operating with a heavier load. No on-field FBOs are listed. Verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before you go.
