Klawock Airport Guide
Klawock Airport (ICAO PAKW, FAA AKW) is a public-use airport on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. It sits about two nautical miles northeast of Klawock at an elevation of roughly 80 feet. The state activated the field in May 1975. It is unattended and has no control tower.
The single asphalt runway, 2/20, measures 5,000 by 100 feet and is grooved, with medium-intensity edge lights, PAPI on both ends and two RNAV (GPS) approaches. The runway slopes down 55 to 65 feet from the threshold to the centre, and pilots can expect downdrafts and turbulence near the runway 2 touchdown zone. There is no staffed passenger terminal.
Island Air Express flies scheduled service between Klawock and Ketchikan, and Wikipedia also lists Alaska Seaplanes flights to Juneau and Sitka. The airport handles wheeled aircraft for the island's road-linked communities. About 4,000 aircraft operations were recorded in the 12 months to the end of 2006, mostly air taxi traffic, with four single-engine aircraft based on the field at that time.
