RWY 07

Port Lions Airport sits in Port Lions, Alaska. Field elevation is 42 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 2,200 ft long and gravel. No control tower is published, so expect non-towered traffic on CTAF 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 1,042 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify the current published guidance before you go. The field has a few operational items that matter on arrival. The runway surface is reported with overgrown grass and alders. Vehicles also cross the runway at the northeast end. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual check before use is a good idea.

Watch for terrain and wind effects near the field. There are 200-foot trees on a hill near the runway 07 end. Expect downdrafts during northeast wind. Reflective cones and lights are installed at both runway ends. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan on self-sufficiency and confirm current services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone if you need anything before arrival.
