RWY 15

Napoleon Airport (3NP) sits in Napoleon, Michigan. Field elevation is 963 ft MSL. The airport has two turf runways. The longest is Runway 09/27 at 2,740 ft. Runway 15/33 is 2,500 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,963 ft MSL based on the field elevation here. Runway 15 and Runway 33 have displaced thresholds marked by yellow cones. Runways 09/27 and 15/33 are not plowed in winter. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport. Ultralight activity also occurs in the grass west of Runway 15/33.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan for self-sufficiency on the ground. The published remarks also note oil tanks south of the airport. If you need clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach. When approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. For a first visit, pay close attention to the turf condition. Also watch the displaced thresholds and the tree obstructions on the 15 and 33 approaches. This is a small non-towered field, so verify current airport status and any local procedures before you go.
