Calkins Fld is in Wayland, Michigan. The field elevation is 740 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 1,800 ft of turf, which makes this a short-field, soft-surface stop for light aircraft. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,740 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The runway surface is reported as rough and uneven. It can also be soft when wet, so plan your braking and rollout with that in mind. The runway ends and the displaced threshold are marked with 3 ft yellow cones.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need services. Published remarks also note no snow removal. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach at 269-459-3344. When approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. If you are new to the field, verify surface condition before departure and keep an eye on turf performance in wet weather.
