Ottawa Executive Airport (Z98) sits in Zeeland, Michigan. Field elevation is 756 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 3,800 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here.
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 slopes up from south to north. That matters on rollout and on takeoff from runway 20. There is also a 16-foot road near runway 02. Seasonal crops sit near that end too. A 200-foot lighted antenna lies about 1,900 feet northeast of runway 20.
Ottawa Executive Airport is on the field and carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (616) 772-5970 for current service details. Low intensity runway lights on 02/20 are activated by keying the CTAF five times between sunset and sunrise. Key the CTAF four times for wind, temperature and altimeter information. Great Lakes Approach handles clearance delivery. If approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC. First-time pilots should review the current Chart Supplement for any additional remarks before arrival. This is an uncontrolled field with published approach support, so stay sharp on CTAF. Watch the runway slope and nearby obstacles.
