Nunapitchuk Airport (PPIT) sits in Nunapitchuk, Alaska. The field elevation is 21.9 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,420 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 1,022 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway lighting is available on 18/36. The runway end identifier lights and PAPI are also published for both ends. Lighting is controlled through the CTAF. The runway condition is not maintained, so a visual inspection before use is a good idea. Boats are reported in the beaching area. Birds are also in the vicinity.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need current services. The airport is in a low-elevation coastal setting in western Alaska. Expect to plan for local weather, surface condition and wildlife on the field. Runway 36 has a published note that the PAPI is unusable more than 6 degrees left or right of centerline.
