Avoca Airport (39G) sits in Avoca, Michigan at 726 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, with a longest length of 2,105 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a small turf field, so surface condition matters. The runway is reported soft in spring and after heavy rain. Runway and displaced threshold areas are marked with 3-foot yellow cones on both ends. There are also published obstructions near both ends. Runway 09 has a tree near the approach path. Runway 27 has a tree close to the approach path as well. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport. Ultralight operations also occur here.

No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. For clearance delivery, the published remarks direct pilots to Selfridge Approach. If that is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. First-time visitors should plan for a short turf strip, soft-field conditions and a close look at the current runway environment before committing to landing.
