Safety Warning

The content in Tundra Pilot sites contains unofficial information that may not be accurate or reflect current conditions. The information presented should not be relied on for decision-making or flight planning. Some of the airstrips included on the web map and in GIS datasets may no longer exist or may be unusable, unsafe, or illegal to land. In some instances, airstrips on public land may be leased and closed to the public. This information is not included in our database. Pilots and other users are solely responsible for verifying all data.

Bush flying is an unforgiving, high-risk activity. Safe operations require proficiency, appropriate equipment, specialized training, regular practice, familiarity, experience, and sound judgment. No product, blog, video, instructional publication, or website, including Tundra Pilot sites and information, can alert you to the complex variables and hazards that exist, nor should they be used as substitutes for official sources of information. As the pilot in command, you are solely responsible for verifying all relevant information, assessing current conditions, evaluating risks, and ensuring the safety of each flight. Your license to use Tundra Pilot sites is conditioned on your acknowledgment and acceptance of this responsibility.

Airstrip and Route Naming Conventions

Tundra Pilot’s airstrips and VFR routes are proprietary creative content. To logically locate and reference information and GIS data on our sites, we have adopted the following unofficial naming convention:

Airstrips are named according to the following criteria: 

      1. Historic names and names of indigenous origin such as those that appear on maps, in documents, historic records, and names used by Alaska Native communities. For example, Stuyahok.
      2. Traditional, local, or pioneer names. For example, Grasser’s Airstrip.
      3. Official names. For example, an official FAA name or identifier.
      4. Names given or used by private or public airstrip owners.
      5. Names that reference the nearest known place name or named geographical feature. For example, Mulchatna River.
      6. A derivative name from a named geographical feature in the vicinity, a relative geographical name, the closest land survey benchmark, or a creative descriptive name (in the absence of a nearby named geographical feature or place name). For example, Chaka, is the name of a nearby VABM above the Chakachatna River.

VFR Routes are named according to the following criteria:

      1. Names that reference communities or place names along a route or at route endpoints. For example, Smithers to Ketchikan.
      2. Traditional or local names. For example, Merrill Pass.
      3. Names that reference significant named geographical features along a route or at route endpoints. For example, The Trench.

Names We Won’t Use:

      1. Vulgar, political, disrespectful, or divisive names.
      2. Non-descriptive or nonsensical names.
      3. Trademarked or proprietary names.
