RWY 27

Shady Lane (M99) sits near St Johns, Michigan. The field elevation is 680 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,302 ft long and turf. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light aircraft pattern at 1,680 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify the published pattern before you go. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan fuel and services elsewhere or call ahead for current options.

The published remarks matter here. Deer, birds and other wildlife are present on and near the airport. Runway 27 has a displaced threshold of 1,430 ft. The opposite end is not visible from the threshold because of rolling terrain and a 25 ft elevation change. That makes a careful runway check important before landing or departing. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach when available. When approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. This is a small, quiet field with a turf surface, so expect a simple VFR arrival and keep an eye out for wildlife and terrain on short final.
