White Cloud Airport (42C) sits in White Cloud, Michigan. The field elevation is 914 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,916 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,914 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Birds are reported on and near the airport. Unmanned aircraft operations also occur west of runway 18/36, so keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival. The runway lights for 18/36 are medium intensity and activate with four clicks on CTAF. 100LL is available 24 hours through self-service with a credit card at White Cloud Airport. If you need clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach at 269-459-3344. When approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. The airport is a small, non-towered field, so plan your traffic calls early and verify snow removal with the airport phone before a winter arrival.
