Port Walter Airport sits at Port Walter in Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before planning a landing. This field is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard reference for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is open year round. The bay can freeze over in winter. It is also exposed to northerly swells at high tides. That matters here because water and shoreline conditions can change the way the field looks and behaves from season to season.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current support and services. With no published runway data in the facts, a pilot should verify surface condition, landing area availability and any seasonal limitations before committing. The magnetic variation is 26°. Use current chart data for navigation and local operating details.
