Mecosta Morton (27C) sits in Mecosta, Michigan. Field elevation is 1,022 ft MSL. The airport has two turf runways. The longest is 09/27 at 2,027 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern about 2,022 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The field has no on-field FBOs listed, so plan to self-brief and verify services before you go.
The published remarks matter here. Runway 03 has a displaced threshold to help clear a TV tower and power line southwest of the airport. Runway 09 also has a displaced threshold for road clearance. Trees near the 03/21 intersection are scheduled to be cleared. Trees south of the east end of 09/27 are also part of the published obstacle picture. Yellow cones mark the runway and displaced threshold areas on 03, 09, 21 and 27. There is no snow removal. Clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. This is a turf field with short runways. Check performance, surface condition and obstacle clearance before you launch or land.
