RWY 27

WALLE FLD is in Pullman, Michigan. Field elevation is 635 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 09/27. The longest strip is 1,699 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 1,635 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The runway is marked by mowing. The published remarks also call out displaced thresholds on both ends. The surface is rough with soft spots, standing water and dirt piles. It is soft in spring and when wet. Deer and other animals are reported on and near the airport. There are also trees close to the runway environment. A power line is near the 09 end. This is a short turf field with real obstacle and surface limits, so plan conservatively and check conditions before you go. No on-field FBOs are listed, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need current services.
