Tanacross Airport sits in Tanacross, Alaska at 1,559 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 06/24 at 4,963 ft. The other runway is 12/30 at 4,871 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL as the normal light-piston reference unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. With the field elevation at 1,559 ft MSL, that puts the standard pattern reference at 2,559 ft MSL.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the field on CTAF for current services before you go. Published remarks note cracked pavement with vegetation on both runways. Runway 06/24 is also reported with a 300-foot swath cut through trees on the 24 approach. Runway 12 has a road crossing the approach 60 ft from the threshold. A river crosses the approach 100 ft from the runway end of 12. Summer air operations and fire support are available. Runway maintenance is not available in winter. This is a remote Alaska field, so plan for local weather, runway condition and seasonal support before arrival.
