Newtok Airport (WWT) sits in Newtok, Alaska. Field elevation is 6 ft MSL. No runways are listed here. This is a water landing area in the river. A lake behind the village is available for fall and winter use. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Multiple boats can be in the landing area. Waterbirds are also a factor. The water is very shallow in the landing area. That means a careful scan on final and a conservative approach plan are important. The airport was established prior to 1959.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need current local handling details. The weather camera is available through the FAA weather camera system. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a small rural water site with limited published infrastructure. Verify current conditions. Verify local traffic. Verify seasonal landing area use before you go.
