Ray Community Airport sits in Ray, Michigan at 632 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 2,495 ft on runway 10/28. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

A few operational items matter here. The airport beacon is activated on CTAF. Runways 10 and 28 have PAPI lighting. Runways 10 and 28 also have medium intensity runway lights that are activated on CTAF. Runway 28 has a road close to the departure end. Seasonal crops sit near the departure end of runway 10. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport. Ultralight operations also occur here. If you are coming in from the Detroit area, clearance delivery is handled through Selfridge Approach when it is open. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before you go.
