Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US.

The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.

Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Atka's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Atka Airport Runway Diagram Print
Atka Airport is a one runway field, and the print keeps it that way: runway 16/34, 4,500 by 100 feet of asphalt, running almost straight down the sheet with a slight lean to the right. The two ends carry their numbers, 16 at the top and 34 at the bottom. Low on the left, a short stub reaches out to a squared apron pad. That is the whole field, and on a wall the restraint is the point: one long dark bar, one small shape hanging off it, and a lot of open paper.
The airport is state owned and public use, two nautical miles north of the central business district of Atka, a city on Atka Island in Alaska, and it covers 226 acres. Elevation is 55 feet. The identifier is worth a note for anyone who collects these: this field is assigned AKA as its location identifier while its IATA code is AKB, and its ICAO code is PAAK. The print uses AKA, the code stamped on the lower corner with the city, the coordinates and the elevation.
Scale reads honestly here. A 4,500 foot strip at 100 feet wide draws as a narrow ribbon, so the composition leans on negative space rather than clutter, which is why it hangs well in a hallway or next to a desk. It also pairs cleanly with another Aleutian sheet: set it beside Adak Island and the two diagrams read as a chain of single strip fields across the island arc.
Atka (AKA) print, common questions
How many runways does Atka Airport have?
One. Runway 16/34 measures 4,500 by 100 feet with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway drawn on the print.
Where is AKA and what does the code mean?
AKA is the location identifier for Atka Airport in Atka, Alaska, on Atka Island in the Aleutians. The same field carries the IATA code AKB and the ICAO code PAAK, but the artwork uses AKA.
What is the field elevation?
55 feet above sea level. That figure is printed in the lower corner block along with the city and the coordinates, 52.2206 N and 174.2062 W.
How accurate is the layout?
The runway, its designators and the apron are plotted from published airport information for the current charting cycle, so the proportions and orientation follow the published runway data. This is a piece of artwork rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and signage are examples of what the drawing leaves out.
What sizes and finishes can I get?
The Atka diagram is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, in several sizes, and in the colorway you choose. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital version is a file you download.
Does this work as a gift?
Yes, particularly for pilots, air taxi crews and anyone with a connection to Atka or the Aleutian chain. A single strip field like this is recognizable at a glance to people who have flown into it.
