YALE (D20) sits in Yale, Michigan. The field elevation is 815 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,300 ft of turf, which makes the field a short-field stop for light aircraft rather than a place to plan on long pavement margins. No control tower is published. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 1,815 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 09 is 88°. Runway 27 is 268°.

The published remarks matter here. The runway can be soft in spring. There is also a 25-foot power line 345 feet from runway 09. Both runway 09 and runway 27 have displaced thresholds marked with 3-foot yellow cones. The approach slope to each displaced threshold is listed at 20 to 1. For clearance delivery, contact Selfridge Approach at 586-239-5706. When approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC at 440-774-0224 or 440-774-0490. No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services before you go.
