Wells Airport (35C) sits in Rockford, Michigan. Field elevation is 890 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,200 ft of turf, so plan for a short-field surface and check conditions before you go. The field is closed from December through April. That matters here. The runway is soft when wet. Runway 18 and runway 36 both have displaced thresholds marked with 3-foot yellow cones. Cataloged obstructions exceed a 45-degree slope at both runway ends. Wildlife is also reported on and near the airport.
There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current local guidance says otherwise. The airport sits in a part of Michigan where seasonal use and surface condition matter more than anything else. If you are planning a first visit, verify the current Chart Supplement and call ahead for local field status before you launch. The manager lives on airport premises, which may help if you need current condition information. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach. When approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC.
