Waterfall Airport sits in Waterfall, Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts for this field. No ILS approaches are published. This is a non-towered field, so use CTAF 122.9 and keep your scan sharp in the pattern and on the surface area. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a float-oriented field. The published remark says the float is removed during winter months from October through March. Plan around that if you are arriving in the colder season. The field sits at sea level on the Alaska coast, so weather, water conditions and local visibility can drive the decision more than runway length would at a land airport. Magnetic variation is 26°. Keep that in mind when you brief any local direction references.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current on-field services before you launch. If you need current operating details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in.
