Iron County Airport (50D) is in Crystal Falls, Michigan. Field elevation is 1,340 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 12/30 at 3,690 ft. Runway 02/20 is turf and 2,700 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. 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 airport is closed November 15 through April 15. It is also closed when snow covered except for ski equipped aircraft. No snow removal is provided. That matters here because winter operations are a real issue.
Published remarks also call out nonstandard low intensity runway lights on 12/30. They are activated on 121.7. Runway 12/30 has cracks and vegetation in the pavement. Runway 02/20 is rough in areas with numerous cracks. Deer, birds and other wildlife are reported on and near the airport. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The manager cell phone number is published in the remarks if you need local status before departure.
