RWY 35

Stambaugh Airport (Y73) sits in Iron River, Michigan. The field elevation is 1,618 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 2,000 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.9 and standard non-towered procedures.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 2,618 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The runway has a downslope from south to north. There is also a 100-foot drop-off after each runway end. Trees are reported near runway 17, about 120 ft right and 0 to 199 ft from the runway. Wildlife is also a real factor here.

Lighting is nonstandard. The runway edge lights are low intensity and sit close to the runway edge. Threshold lights are outboard from the runway edge. Runway end identifier lights are activated on 17 and 35. The airport was established before 1959. No on-field FBOs are listed, so call the airport operator directly or use the field on CTAF for current service details before you go.
