Density Altitude at Eek (PAEE)

Eek sits at 27 ft, and even a typical July afternoon (64 °F) only lifts density altitude to about 353 ft — heat still trims performance, but the field rarely turns high-and-hot.

Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at PAEE in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 64 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Eek reaches roughly 353 ft at standard pressure. Hotter-than-normal days, low pressure, and humidity all push it higher, so run the day's actual numbers before flying.

What is the density altitude at PAEE on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −3,609 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about −127 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 27 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Eek?

27 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is PAEE (ICAO) / EEK (FAA), in Eek, Alaska.
