Woolsey Meml (5D5) sits in Northport, Michigan. Field elevation is 628 ft MSL. The airport has two turf runways. The longest is 09/27 at 3,663 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 traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has low intensity runway lights on 09/27. Those lights are activated by CTAF. Published remarks also note that the airport is closed November through March. It is also closed when snow covered except for ski equipped aircraft.

Runway 09/27 slopes upward from west to east. Runway 16/34 slopes upward from north to south. Published remarks also call out deer, birds and other wildlife in the area. That matters here. Plan a careful arrival and departure, especially at low light. Runway 09, 16, 27 and 34 all have yellow cone markings at the runway ends or displaced thresholds. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator before you go.
