Cape Pole Airport (Z71) is in Cape Pole, Alaska. The field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator before you plan an arrival. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL only as a standard starting point unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. The operating area is in Fishermans Harbor. Rocks are in the entrance. Heavy seas are frequent. The beach has large rocks and is unsafe for seaplane floats. The airport is no longer used for logging or seaplane operations. There is also a line across the inlet at the float.
This is a coastal Alaska field with no on-field FBOs listed. Plan conservatively and verify current access, surface conditions and local operating notes before you go. If you need current field status, call the airport operator directly or use the FBO directly by phone if one is available.
