Beaver Island Airport sits on Beaver Island in Michigan. Field elevation is 669.8 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is 09/27 at 4,299 ft asphalt. The field is unattended, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.8. UNICOM is also 122.8. 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 or local procedures say otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern about 1,670 ft MSL based on the published field elevation. Runway 09/27 has medium intensity lighting controlled by CTAF. It also has runway end identifier lights and PAPI. Runway 23 has displaced threshold markings. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure.
Beaver Island Airport has one on-field FBO. Beaver Island Airport carries AVGAS 100LL. Call the field directly at (231) 448-2750 before you go. Runway 14/32 is closed from November through April and when snow covered. Runway 05/23 is also closed from November through April and when snow covered. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. The airport manager can be reached at 231-675-5391.
