About Anvik Airport
Anvik Airport is an airport with the ICAO code PANV and the IATA code ANV. Country: United States. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Anvik. OurAirports classifies it as a medium-sized airport. Its ICAO code starts with the PA prefix, which marks airports in United States. The four-letter code PANV is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code ANV is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 62°38'48"N, 160°11'28"W, at an elevation of 291 ft (89 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is America/Anchorage.

Runways of PANV
| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17 | 170° | 1,219 m (4,000 ft) | 23 m (75 ft) | unpaved |
| 35 | 350° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Climate at Anvik Airport - statistics from METAR reports
What the METAR reports from PANV for 2023-2025 show - counted hour by hour.
We computed these statistics from 21,714 METAR reports issued by PANV in 2023-2025. VFR conditions prevailed 69% of the time, MVFR 16% and IFR or LIFR 15%. Best month for VFR flying: June (93% of hours VFR). Most IFR and LIFR hours: January (30%).
Through the day, IFR or LIFR conditions are most frequent around 15:00 UTC (20% of reports at that hour) and least frequent around 05:00 UTC (12%).
Fog (FG) was reported on 33 days a year on average, most often in February. Thunderstorms (TS) occurred on 0 days a year on average, and snowfall on 137.
The wind most often blows from NE (45°) - 22% of reports. Calm (0 kt) made up 6% of reports, and gusts of 25 kt or more appeared in 2%. Warmest month: July (average high 17.5 °C); coldest: December (average low -17.0 °C).

Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 17/35 on 170° and 350° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 17/35 axis, wind from the west (around 260°) or from the east (around 80°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 170° or 350° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for PANV
Weather reports for Anvik Airport are published under the ICAO code PANV. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the PANV report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for PANV, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/Anchorage zone is GMT-09:00 in winter and GMT-08:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Grayling Airport (PAGX, 28 km), Shageluk Airport (PAHX, 32 km), Holy Cross Airport (PAHC, 55 km). When no report is available for PANV, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
