Takotna Airport (PPCT) sits in Takotna, Alaska. Field elevation is 423.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 3,300 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 04/22 is marked with reflective cones and markers. Medium intensity runway lights and the rotating beacon are both activated by CTAF.
The published remarks matter here. The runway has multiple cracks across the full length and width. It is also uneven, with dips, heaves and humps. Runway condition is not monitored. Plan on a careful visual inspection before you commit to landing. The airport was established before 1959. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. For a first-time pilot, this is a gravel strip with a rough surface. Treat it like a short-field, condition-dependent arrival. Keep an eye on density altitude, wind and braking action.
