Almena Airport (2C5) sits in Paw Paw, Michigan. Field elevation is 748 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27 and the longest runway is 3,300 ft of turf. 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 Chart Supplement says otherwise. With the field at 748 ft MSL, that puts a typical pattern around 1,748 ft MSL. The airport is closed December through March and when snow covered. That matters here because turf and winter conditions can change the field fast.
Published remarks also call out deer and large birds on and near the airport. Runway and displaced threshold markings use 3 foot yellow cones. There are tree obstructions on both ends, so plan your approach carefully and verify current field conditions before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach at 269-459-3344. When Approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. No on-field FBOs are listed, so call the airport operator directly or use CTAF for current local info before arrival.
