Forest Hill Airport (3F5) sits in Westphalia, Michigan. Field elevation is 772 ft MSL. The airport has two turf runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 2,070 ft. Runway 18/36 is 1,520 ft.
There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. Plan for non-precision or visual work only. Verify current procedures before you go. The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,772 ft MSL.
Published remarks matter here. Runway 09 has a displaced threshold and a 20 to 1 approach slope. Runways 09, 18, 27 and 36 use 3 foot yellow cones for marking. The Chart Supplement also notes deer and birds in the area. Winter field conditions should be checked with the airport manager before arrival.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need services. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach. If approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. This is a small turf field with short runways. Pay close attention to wind, surface condition and obstacle clearance on final.
