North Bass Island Airport (3X5) sits on North Bass Island in Ohio. The field elevation is 594 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 1,804 ft long with an asphalt surface. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. Published remarks say no operations are permitted from dusk to dawn. No touch-and-go landings are allowed. Student training is also not permitted. Clearance delivery is handled through Detroit Approach at 734-955-1404.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan to self-brief carefully before arrival. The airport sits at the northwest corner of the island, so island terrain and water surroundings deserve attention during arrival and departure planning. For a first visit, the main items are the short single runway, the published night restriction and the no-training limitation. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updates before you go.
