PARA FLD (4Y8) sits near Yale, Michigan. Field elevation is 800 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 2,500 ft of turf. No control tower is published, so CTAF is the main traffic advisory frequency at 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern about 1,800 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you fly. The published remarks matter here. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport. The runway is also closed from October through March and when snow covered. The airport is closed in that same seasonal window when conditions warrant. Contact the airport manager for field conditions.
The runway environment needs a careful look. The opposite end is not visible from the threshold because of rolling terrain. The runway also slopes up at both ends. Runway and displaced threshold markings are shown with cones. There are published obstructions near both ends of the runway. This is a field where a first-time pilot should plan a conservative approach, verify current conditions and be ready to go around if the surface or terrain does not look right.
