Grand Haven Meml Airpark is in Grand Haven, Michigan. Field elevation is 603.8 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 3,752 ft. Runway 18/36 is 2,058 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.7 and coordinate with UNICOM on the same frequency.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. E2 Technologies is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. If you need current service details, call them at (616) 842-4430 before arrival.

The published remarks matter here. Runway 09 and 27 have runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights that are controlled by CTAF. The airport also has partial airspace surface to 14,000 ft from sunrise to sunset daily from April through October. Deer, large birds and unmanned aircraft operations west of runway 18 and north of runway 09 are all worth watching for. Large vehicle traffic also occurs near the runway 18 and 36 approach areas. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach. If approach is closed, use Chicago ARTCC. The field is unattended on major holidays, so check service status before you go.
