Roben-Hood Airport sits in Big Rapids, Michigan. Field elevation is 994.2 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 10/28 at 5,003 ft. Runway 14/32 is 2,699 ft.
This is an untowered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits in a mixed local traffic environment, so keep your scan tight on departure and arrival.
Roben-Hood Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Published remarks say 100LL is available 24 hours a day self-serve. They also note A plus fuel with single point and overwing fueling. Runway 10 and runway 28 have REILs. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways and are controlled by CTAF. The PAPI on runway 10 is unusable beyond 5 degrees right of centerline.
Birds and deer are reported on and near the airport. That is the main operational item to plan around here. If you need clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go for any updates to remarks or local procedures.
