Gulkana Airport sits in Gulkana, Alaska. Field elevation is 1,586.1 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 5,001 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 2,586 ft MSL based on field elevation. Runway 15L/33R is asphalt and has medium intensity runway lights controlled by CTAF. The VASI is also on 15L and 33R. Runway 15R/33L is gravel. Published remarks note obstructions and a beacon tower near the approach end of 15R/33L. There is also 6 ft brush near the departure end of 33R, 190 ft out and 90 ft right of centerline.
Gulkana Fuel is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card or by calling the listed phone number. Runway conditions are unmonitored, so a visual inspection before landing makes sense here. Birds and wildlife are also noted in the area. The airport is in a high-elevation Alaska setting. Plan for density altitude, weather and surface conditions before you go.
