James Clements Muni sits in Bay City, Michigan. The field elevation is 584.6 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 18/36 at 3,798 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.725 for local traffic and monitor the field closely in the pattern.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. On the field, James Clements Municipal Airport carries AVGAS 100LL. Call (989) 895-8991 to confirm current services before you go.
The published remarks matter here. Runway 05 has a dike near the departure end. Runway 18 and runway 36 have obstacle notes that deserve attention on approach. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on both runways. The PAPI is active on 18 and 36. Great Lakes Approach handles clearance delivery. When Great Lakes is closed, Cleveland ARTCC is the backup contact. Expect mixed traffic too. The airport notes seaplanes, ag aircraft, aerobatic flights and ultralights in the area. Deer, large birds and bald eagles are also active around the field. That makes a good scan on final and during taxi.
