Point Lay LRRS sits at Point Lay, Alaska. Field elevation is 28.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 4,500 ft long with a gravel surface. No tower is listed, so plan to use CTAF 122.8 for traffic calls and lighting activation. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local procedures or current published guidance say otherwise. The runway lighting, runway end identifier lights, PAPI for both ends and the rotating beacon are all activated on CTAF. That is useful here because this is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 33 degrees Celsius. Check performance and density altitude planning before you go.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. For current fuel or service availability, contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM if available. Barrow Flight Service Station can also be reached at 1-800-779-7709 or 907-852-2511. The published runway heading is 69 degrees magnetic for 06 and 249 degrees magnetic for 24. Expect a gravel surface. Plan accordingly for braking, prop clearance and foreign object risk.
