Drummond Island Airport sits on Drummond Island in Michigan. Field elevation is 668.4 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 4,000 ft. 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 for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or local traffic calls for something different. Bailey Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and MOGAS. Call (906) 493-5411 for current service details.
Runway 08/26 has medium intensity lighting that is controlled on CTAF. The PAPI for runways 08 and 26 is activated from the radio. Runway 01/19 is a turf runway with an asphalt center section near the intersection with 08/26. Watch the published obstructions. There are close-in obstacles near runway 08. The 01 and 19 ends also have cataloged obstructions. Golf carts and pedestrians cross runway 08/26 because of the golf course on both sides. That makes local traffic awareness important. Clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
