Raymond L Kussmaul Jr Meml Airport sits in Clinton, Michigan. Field elevation is 825 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,800 ft of turf, with magnetic headings of 178° and 358°. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the standard pattern at 1,825 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before you fly. The published remarks matter here. The runway can get soft in spring thaw and after heavy rain. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. Buildings and hangars sit in the primary surface. Runway 36 also has an 18 ft power line near the threshold, marked with orange balls. Runway 36 and the displaced threshold are marked with 3 ft yellow cones.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services before arrival. For clearance delivery, Detroit Approach is listed in the remarks. If you are planning a first visit, treat this as a turf field with weather-sensitive surface conditions and pay close attention to the obstacle notes on the 36 end.
