Tuntutuliak Airport (Z20) sits in Tuntutuliak, Alaska. Field elevation is 15 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts for this field. No tower is published. CTAF is 122.7. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL as a standard reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. There are no on-field FBOs listed. There are also no docks or facilities of any kind. The facts note a beaching area on the bank of the river next to the village. That matters for arrival planning because this is a simple river site, not a paved airport with services.

The published remarks also call out multiple unlit windmills around the river. Some are as tall as 120 feet. Waterfowl are in the area too. That means a careful visual scan on approach is smart, especially in low light or marginal weather. A weather camera is available online through the FAA weather camera system. The field was established before 1959. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for any current operational details before you go.
