Erie-Ottawa Intl is in Port Clinton, Ohio. The field elevation is 590.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,646 ft on runway 09/27. There is no control tower, so traffic works on CTAF 122.8. Cleveland Approach handles the published approach and departure frequencies. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits near Lake Erie traffic flow, so expect local VFR activity, wildlife on and near the field. Stay sharp on taxi and runway selection. Runway 27 is the calm wind runway per the published remarks. Lighting is available on both runways. Runways 09 and 27 have REILs and high intensity lighting. Runways 18 and 36 have medium intensity lighting. PAPI is published for 09 and 27.
Erie Ottawa International Airport Authority is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Clearance delivery is handled through Cleveland Approach. Taxiway A is closed to aircraft with wingspans over 49 ft. Customs is available 24/7 with two hours prior notice. Transient hangar use needs prior permission.
