RWY 12

Van Effen Fld sits in Rock, Michigan. The field elevation is 970 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12/30, which is 2,600 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Runway 12 and Runway 30 both have displaced thresholds marked with yellow cones. Both approaches also carry a 20 to 1 obstacle clearance slope to the displaced threshold. That makes a stabilized approach important, especially on a short turf strip.

There is no snow removal at this airport. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
