RWY 24

Muskegon County Airport sits in Muskegon, Michigan. The field elevation is 628.2 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 06/24 at 6,500 ft. Runway 14/32 is 6,100 ft. The airport is towered from 0600 to 2300.

Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 24 and 32. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits under Great Lakes approach coverage. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Great Lakes Approach. If approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC.

Executive Air Transport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. After hours service is handled through the FBO. Runway 14/32 is closed daily from 2300 to 0600 because of runway protection zone conflict. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival. If you are planning a larger aircraft or an unscheduled operation with more than 30 passenger seats, check the prior permission requirements before you go.
