Chignik Bay (Z78) sits in Chignik, Alaska at sea level on the coast. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. There are no published runways in the facts block, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before you plan a landing. No tower is listed. CTAF is 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL only if the current Chart Supplement or local guidance supports that for your aircraft and arrival. Magnetic variation is 19°.
The published remarks matter here. The lake next to the runway area is often used as a seaplane base. The beach at the south end of the lake is used for aircraft pull-up. That makes this a place to brief your surface choice before arrival. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts block. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current local handling details. With no published runway data in the facts block, verify surface condition. Verify usable landing area. Verify any local traffic flow before you go.
