HAMP Airport (68R) is in Elwell, Michigan. The field elevation is 825 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,580 ft of turf, which makes the field a short, soft-surface stop for light aircraft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The 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 published remarks matter here. Trees and brush are in the primary surface on both sides of the runway. The runway environment also includes rolling terrain. It has an uneven surface. Intermittent patches of missing turf are reported. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport. There is no snow removal. Contact the airport manager to verify field conditions before you go.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. For service, contact the airport manager. If you need clearance delivery, Great Lakes Approach is listed when it is open. When approach is closed, Cleveland ARTCC is the published contact. For a first-time arrival, plan for the turf surface, the short runway and the obstacle environment on both ends. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updated remarks before flying in.
