Pattern altitude is not published. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight. If you are operating a light piston airplane, the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is the normal starting point unless published otherwise. The field is on the Lake Michigan side of the state, so watch the shoreline weather and be ready for changing winds. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. Hang glider activity also occurs along the lakeshore, so keep a sharp lookout in the traffic area.

The runway lighting setup includes runway end identifier lights and a precision approach path indicator on runway 33. Runways 15 and 33 have medium intensity runway lights. The CTAF uses three microphone clicks to turn the lights off. The airport beacon is on a hill 1.25 miles northwest of the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC.
