Branch County Meml Airport (KOEB) sits in Coldwater, Michigan. Field elevation is 958.3 ft MSL. The airport has 3 runways. The longest is runway 07/25 at 5,350 ft. There is no control tower. Traffic pattern altitude is not published, so light piston pilots should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. Runway 07 and runway 25 have runway end identifier lights. Precision approach path indicators are installed on 07 and 25. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on 07/25 and 04/22. They are controlled by the CTAF. Runway 25 is listed as the calm wind runway. Runway 16/34 is not plowed and is closed from November through March. That matters in winter. Runway 34 and its displaced threshold are marked with 3-foot yellow cones. Runway 16 has the same cone marking. Trees are noted near the approach paths for 16 and 34, so brief the displaced thresholds before you arrive.
Elite Air Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours a day by self-serve. Airport management is available after hours and on weekends. Birds and deer are present on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and final.
