About Emmonak Airport
Overview
Emmonak Airport serves the remote Alaskan village of Emmonak, located in the western part of the state. As a medium-sized airport situated at a low elevation of 13 feet MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local community and supports regional aviation operations in a challenging Arctic environment.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Emmonak Airport are characterized by significant variability, with VFR conditions occurring 47.6% of the time and MVFR conditions present 35.9% of observations. Pilots can expect predominantly northerly winds averaging 10 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 41 knots. The temperature range spans from -18°C to 12°C, with an average of 0.8°C, presenting potential icing and cold-weather operational challenges.
Notable Features
The single runway 16/34 is 4,601 feet long with a gravel (GVL) surface, typical of remote Alaskan airports. Wind analysis shows 100% favorable wind conditions for the runway, with an average crosswind component of 5.5 knots. The airport's low elevation and proximity to coastal terrain likely influences local microclimate and wind patterns.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averages 9 statute miles, with limited instances of reduced visibility (below 3SM in 2.3% of observations) and minimal fog occurrence (1%). December, September, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes characteristic of the Alaskan environment.
