RWY 29

Lake Isabella/Cal Brewer Meml Airport (D15) sits in Lake Isabella, Michigan. Field elevation is 886 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 2,582 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or airport operator gives you a different instruction. That puts the light piston pattern at about 1,886 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The published remarks matter here. Snow removal is irregular, so winter access can change fast. The runway 11 and runway 29 approaches also have nearby trees, roads and buildings called out in the Chart Supplement. Expect to review those before you go.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. If you need fuel or other services, contact the airport operator directly before arrival. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC is listed in the remarks. The manager cell number is also published in the Chart Supplement. This is a small non-towered field with limited published approach support. Plan the arrival carefully. Verify current runway condition before departure.
