Wiseman Airport (WSM) sits in Wiseman, Alaska at 1,195 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 2,000 ft long with a turf-dirt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 2,195 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in a mountain valley with high terrain in all quadrants. There are 35-foot trees within 75 feet of the runway centerline on both sides. Runway 02 has reflective markers and cones. Runway 20 has the same. The windsock is unreliable. A dogleg approach is recommended for Runway 02 because of a hill. There are also 6 inches of rocks and 24 inches of grass along the surface. Ski plane operations are winter only. Snow removal is not available.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need local services. A weather camera is available online for a current look at the field. For any noise, curfew, or operational changes, verify the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
