Mc Grath Airport sits in Mc Grath, Alaska. Field elevation is 342.7 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 5,936 ft asphalt runway 17/35. Runway 05/23 is 2,000 ft gravel. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 123.6 for traffic calls.
An ILS is published for runway 17. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard traffic pattern judgment for the field. Verify the current pattern in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The airport is closed to aircraft greater than 30 passenger seats. That matters for planning if you are bringing a larger aircraft.
Northern Petroleum Services is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A, JET A PRIST and MOGAS. The airport also has a few operational points worth briefing before arrival. Runway condition is unmonitored. A visual check before landing is recommended. Pavement is reported rough. The airport sand is coarser than FAA guidance recommends. There is also a trail 7 feet below and 170 feet beyond runway 17. In cold weather, this is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 45 degrees Celsius.
