About Annette Island Airport

Overview

Annette Island Airport serves Metlakatla, Alaska, located in the southeastern part of the state. Positioned at an elevation of 119 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences maritime climate conditions typical of southeastern Alaska, with potential for variable weather patterns. Its two runways - 02/20 (5,709 ft with gravel surface) and 12/30 (7,493 ft with asphalt surface) - offer flexibility for different wind and aircraft type conditions.

Notable Features

Located at coordinates 55.037663, -131.572609, Annette Island Airport is situated in a terrain-complex region characterized by mountainous coastal landscapes. The longer 12/30 runway, with its asphalt surface, provides a more substantial landing option for larger aircraft compared to the shorter gravel runway.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should be prepared for potential challenging approaches due to the airport's coastal Alaskan location. The two runways with different lengths and surfaces offer options for approach based on aircraft type, wind direction, and current meteorological conditions.
