Middle Bass-East Point (3W9) sits on Middle Bass Island, Ohio. Field elevation is 582 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,085 ft of turf, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a VFR-only field. Prior coordination is required before arrival. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so plan to contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current handling details. The published remarks also note that ropes and temporary tiedowns are not provided. Clearance delivery is handled through Cleveland Approach at 216-352-2323.
Expect a tight environment. Trees and buildings sit close to the runway. The published remarks also call out an obstruction near runway 09 that exceeds a 45 degree slope. The runway is soft and wet in spring. Wind shear and turbulence can be significant when wind exceeds 10 knots. Wildlife is also a factor here. For wind indication, use the segmented circle at 3T7 airport.
