RWY 22

DAHIO TROTWOOD (I44) sits in Dayton, Ohio at 925 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 2,900 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current traffic pattern in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go. For light piston traffic, a standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is often used when no published value exists. Confirm local practice before arrival.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Call the airport operator or the field directly for current services before departure. Published remarks matter here. Runway 22 has brush and trees near the departure end. Seasonal crops run along the full length of runway 04/22. The pavement has numerous cracks with vegetation and foreign object debris. The taxiway from midfield to the hangar area is also in poor condition. Ultralights and powered parachutes operate on and near the airport. Keep a sharp lookout in the pattern and on the ground.

Clearance delivery is handled through Columbus Approach at 614-338-8537. The field also has no published tower hours because it is non-towered. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in. This is a field where a careful preflight, a short field plan and a good scan for debris matter.
