Juneau is a coastal airport with heavy helicopter and aircraft activity from April 15 to October 1. That activity runs along the full length of Gastineau Channel and within 5 miles. Published remarks also note paragliding activity north of the field near Thunder Mountain and over Gastineau Channel during the same seasonal window. Runway 26 has terrain-related limitations on the precision approach path indicator. Runway 08 has a nonstandard approach lighting setup. Plan ahead for the local traffic mix and the water environment. Check the current Chart Supplement and stay sharp on the arrival.
