Dalton Airport sits in Flushing, Michigan. Field elevation is 733 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 18/36 at 2,510 ft on asphalt. Runway 09/27 is 1,633 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Dalton Airport Association is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Fuel is available by credit card. Published remarks also note deer and large birds in the area. Runway 09/27 is closed from October through March. Low intensity lights on 18/36 are activated by CTAF. The field has a few obstruction notes near the approaches, so plan your arrival with some margin and review the current Chart Supplement before you go. If you need clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach. If approach is closed, use Cleveland ARTCC. For a first visit, the main things to watch are the shorter turf strip. Watch the seasonal closure on 09/27. Watch the wildlife on and near the airport.
