Wyandot County Airport (56D) sits in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Field elevation is 829.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 18/36, which is 3,997 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. Low intensity runway lights on 18/36 are activated by CTAF. The beacon is also activated by CTAF.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 36 has a displaced right pattern because of a lighted building west of the airport. Runway 36 markings are faded. It also has nonstandard basic markings due to threshold markings.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival for current services. Wildlife is a real factor here. Deer, birds and other wildlife are present on and near the airport. Bird activity also occurs at the landfill 1.5 NM north-northwest of the field. For clearance delivery, contact Cleveland Approach. When Approach is closed, use Cleveland ARTCC. This is a non-towered airport with published CTAF and UNICOM on 123.05. Plan ahead for local pattern and lighting procedures before you go.
