RWY 21

Put In Bay Airport (3W2) sits in Put In Bay, Ohio. Field elevation is 595 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 2,870 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator tells you otherwise. With the field at 595 ft MSL, that is 1,595 ft MSL for a standard light piston pattern. Aircraft operations are prohibited from dusk to dawn. That matters here. Plan daylight only.

The published remarks also call out a few items that matter on a first visit. Approach to runway 21 has tree and fence obstructions near the threshold. Perry’s Monument is also a factor on runway 21 arrivals and runway 03 departures. Expect moderate turbulence when wind exceeds 10 knots. Wildlife is in the area too. Prior coordination is required. Parking and ramp fees apply. Pilots must check in at the airport office on arrival. Engines must be shut down while passengers load or unload. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify current services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
