TRIPOD is in Aleknagik, Alaska. Field elevation is 225 ft MSL. This is not a normal paved strip. No runways are listed in the facts. The published remarks say the surfaces are not maintained. Several runway areas are described as unusable for fixed-wing use. One area is very rough, overgrown and crossed by trees. Another has forest right at the threshold and heavy tree encroachment. The field also has no tower. CTAF is 122.9.
There are no ILS approaches published. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current FAA Chart Supplement before planning a pattern or a night arrival. The remarks also call out very uneven and sometimes soft surfaces. They also mention rocks and trees on the runway areas. Runway 18/36 is described as unusable and used as an ATV camping site. Runway 11/29 is a narrow ATV trail over tundra that slopes downhill to the north. Runway 36 has forest across the entire approach. Runway 18 has Marsh Mountain nearby. There are no on-field FBOs listed.
For a first-time pilot, the big takeaway is simple. Treat this as a field that needs very careful verification before any attempt. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport operator directly before you go. If you need current local guidance, call the field on CTAF or speak with the operator before arrival.
