Torchport Airport (59M) is in Eastport, Michigan. The field elevation is 640 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 3,300 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic 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. There is no snow removal. That matters here because this is a turf field with uneven rolling terrain and wildlife in the area. Trees can also block the view of the runway ends.
Runway 09/27 has published approach notes for obstacles near the displaced threshold. Runway 04/22 also has marked displaced threshold cones. The published remarks say clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call ahead before you go.
