Trident Basin Airport (T44) sits in Kodiak, Alaska at 0 ft MSL. It is a seaplane base with no listed runways. Plan for water operations rather than a paved strip. No control tower is listed. Published remarks say pilots arriving or departing must contact Kodiak Tower for traffic advisories or special VFR clearance. When the tower is closed, self-announce on CTAF. The field uses CTAF 119.8 and UNICOM 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The published remarks also note birds in the area. Boats occasionally use the waterlane. A reef is exposed at both ends of the runway during low tides. That makes tide and traffic awareness important here.
Fuel is available with credit card. No on-field FBOs are listed. The City of Kodiak has made communications at Trident Basin mandatory, so do not treat this like an informal stop. A Kodiak weather camera is also available online for a current look at conditions. For a first-time arrival, the main things to sort out are tower coordination, waterlane traffic and local hazards around the basin.
