Oscoda/Wurtsmith sits in Oscoda, Michigan. Field elevation is 633 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 07/25, which is 11,801 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. One ILS is published for runway 25. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Phoenix Aviation Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For service, call the FBO at (989) 739-8486. The published remarks also note MALSR on runway 25, REIL on runway 07, PAPI on both ends and HIRL on 07/25. Use CTAF for communications. Clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
A first-time pilot should pay attention to the published hazards. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport. There can be possible jet blast near taxiway A by the restricted parking apron and east ramp. The remarks also mention simulated tail strikes over the approach ends of runways 07 and 25 during daylight hours. Expect to brief the runway 25 ILS and the lighting setup before arrival.
