Grayling AAF sits in Grayling, Michigan. Field elevation is 1,158.1 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 5,005 ft on runway 14/32. Runway 05/23 is 5,000 ft. The field is towered. Tower hours are 1300-0500Z Monday through Friday from 1 Apr to 30 Sep. Hours are 1300-0100Z Monday through Friday from 1 Oct to 31 Mar. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published traffic pattern altitude is 1,700 ft MSL for rotor wing aircraft. Fixed wing pattern altitude is 2,200 ft MSL. Overhead is at 2,700 ft MSL. Crawford County Air Terminal is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. 100LL and Jet A+ are also available 24 hours a day self-service by credit card. Call base operations at 989-344-4301 for fuel support outside operating hours.
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.
