Kenai Muni sits in Kenai, Alaska at 99.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 02L/20R at 7,855 ft. The field is towered. Tower hours are 0600-2200 May 1 through Sep 30. Hours are 0700-2100 Oct 1 through Apr 30. One ILS is published for runway 20R. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Crowley Aviation Fuels is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours a day with card access. The airport also has transient parking on the south terminal ramp. Helicopter parking is on the north terminal ramp. Published remarks call out noise abatement procedures from the airport manager. That matters here because the airport has mixed runway use, including the water runway 02W/20W. The water runway is closed from November through April. The tower controls special procedures during operating hours. When the tower is closed, weather comes from Kenai ATIS or Kenai Flight Service Station.
For a first visit, pay attention to the runway mix and the published noise procedures. Runway 02R/20L is gravel. Runway 02W/20W is a water runway. The water landing area and taxiway channel are not visible from the tower. Check current field status before planning a water arrival or any operation outside the tower window.
