West Michigan Rgnl sits in Holland, Michigan. The field elevation is 697.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 6,002 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. The airport uses the call sign "Holland." The published pattern altitude is not listed, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The airport has one ILS approach to runway 26. That matters if the weather starts to come down on the lakeshore. Avflight Holland is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Transient aircraft must call ahead for hangar storage. For airport attendance and emergencies, use the published airport phone number. Clearance delivery is on 123.95. Great Lakes Approach and Departure are on 133.825 and 290.35. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05.
The published remarks also note that runway 08 and 26 lighting is tied to CTAF. The high intensity runway lights are preset to low intensity. If you are new to the field, verify the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before arrival. That is especially smart here because the airport sits near the Lake Michigan shoreline. Weather can change fast. Low ceilings can affect the ILS runway quickly.
