Engstrom Fld (Z47) in Basin Creek, Alaska has 1 runway. The only runway is 16/34. It is 2,000 ft long and 60 ft wide. The surface is GRVL-DIRT. The longest runway is 2,000 ft, so the field is limited to one short strip for all operations.

No control tower is published for this airport. No ILS runway ends are published. That means you should plan for non-precision, visual-style operations only unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or published procedures show something different. No runway-specific noise abatement notes are published. No LAHSO notes are published.

Runway headings are 173° and 353° magnetic. That gives you a simple north-south alignment with gravel and dirt surface conditions to consider. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure. Use aviationweather for live METAR/TAF if you need current wind and ceiling data.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless local procedure or ATC says otherwise. The field is non-towered, so self-announcement and traffic scanning matter. No right-traffic exception is published. No runway-specific pattern notes are published.

With one runway only, expect all pattern work to center on 16/34. Runway selection will depend on wind and surface condition. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement for airport remarks. Use aviationweather for live METAR/TAF and winds before you commit to the pattern.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
