A few remarks matter for planning. Parts of the airfield close during winter months, so check NOTAMs before departure. Runway 05/23 has an irregular surface with foreign object debris throughout the runway. Runway 14/32 has a displaced threshold issue near 68-foot trees off the approach end. The field elevation is high enough that performance planning still matters on warm days. Military service needs prior permission. Call the flight information center at 989-344-4301 before you go.
