Johnsons Landing (Z52) sits at Bear Lake, Alaska. Field elevation is 130 ft MSL. This is a non-towered airport with CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The field has no listed runways in the facts block. Published remarks still identify runway areas by number. Runway 18/36 has brush up to 10 feet high along the edges. It is reported at about 6 feet wide at the narrowest point. The FAA remarks say it is not recommended for any aircraft operations. That same runway also has loose gravel up to 4 inches deep. Ruts and dips run the full length. Runway 09/27 is also rough. It has loose gravel, a soft undulating surface, swales up to 18 inches and rocks up to 8 inches. The airport is partly on private land. Bears are on and near the airport. A first-time pilot should treat this as a very limited-use backcountry strip and verify current conditions with the airport operator before planning any arrival.
