Major Gilbert Fld is in La Pointe, Wisconsin. The field elevation is 648.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 04/22, which is 3,000 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published for 4R5. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. There are 40 ft trees near the runway end on the 04 side. Runway 04 has REIL lighting that is activated by CTAF. PAPI is available on runways 04 and 22. The medium intensity runway lights on both ends are preset low from sunset to sunrise. They can be increased in intensity and activated by CTAF.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need fuel or ramp details. Deer and waterfowl are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. The runway is short enough that a careful performance check is smart. This is especially true if you are arriving heavy or with a tailwind.
