Tazlina Airport (Z14) sits in Tazlina, Alaska at 2,450 ft MSL. There are no runways listed in the current facts block, so verify the usable landing area with the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard traffic pattern judgment for the aircraft and conditions, then confirm the local pattern with the current Chart Supplement or the airport operator.

Published remarks matter here. Runway 13/31 is not maintained. Thresholds and edges on 13 and 31 are marked with reflective orange cones. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing is a good idea. That matters in Alaska where surface condition can change fast with weather and season. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need fuel or ground support. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a field that needs a current look before committing. Check the current Chart Supplement for any changes to the landing surface, pattern, or local operating notes.
