PPDM serves Diomede, Alaska. The field elevation is 20.5 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before planning any arrival or departure. There is no control tower. CTAF is 123.0. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light-piston pattern reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits very close to Russia airspace. Treat that as a real boundary issue. An incursion is a civil violation.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on coordinating directly with the airport operator or the field by phone before you go. Published remarks also say emergency landing lights require prior permission. Contact 907-686-3071, 907-684-3311, or the airport manager if you need that setup. With no runway data published here, this is not a place to improvise. Verify the current Chart Supplement and local procedures before flight.
