GROSS (52I) sits near Pinconning, Michigan. Field elevation is 618 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 3,300 ft of turf, which makes it a short-field planning airport for many pilots. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed for the airport, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. Ultralights use 500 ft traffic pattern altitude. That is a separate published note.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. For service or flight information, call 989-239-9878. Clearance delivery is handled through Great Lakes Approach at 269-459-3345. When approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC at 440-774-0224 or 440-774-0490.
The published remarks matter here. Runway and displaced threshold markings use 3-foot yellow cones at both ends. The thresholds are displaced to provide minimum 20 to 1 clearance over obstructions. There are buildings in the primary surface at the east end. Trees are reported near the west end. Deer and large birds are also reported on and near the airport. Plan your arrival with that in mind, especially on a turf strip with displaced thresholds and nearby obstacles.
