Oceana County Airport sits in Hart/Shelby, Michigan. The field elevation is 915.8 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 09/27 at 3,500 ft asphalt. Runway 15/33 is 2,251 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Great Lakes Approach handles APCH and DEP on 119.8 and 290.35. No ILS approaches are published.

For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Oceana County Airport. It carries 100LL. Call ahead at (231) 861-9910 for current service details.

A few remarks matter here. Runway 09 and 27 have medium intensity lights controlled by CTAF. The PAPI is activated for those runways. Runway 15 has a cataloged obstruction issue on approach. Runway 33 has a displaced threshold with a nearby tree on the approach path. Runways 15 and 33 are rough and soft when wet. If you need clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach. If approach is closed, use Chicago ARTCC. First-time visitors should brief the lighting setup. Brief the displaced threshold on 33. Brief the turf condition on 15/33 before arrival.
