Gratiot Community Airport sits in Alma, Michigan. Field elevation is 754.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,004 ft on 09/27. The other runway is 18/36 at 3,198 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning an IFR arrival in marginal weather. Check the current Chart Supplement for the latest approach setup before you go. The field has CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8. Great Lakes Approach uses 126.45 and 235.625 for approach and departure services. For clearance delivery, the published remarks direct you to Great Lakes Approach or Cleveland ARTCC when Approach is closed.

Three Point Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. Call ahead at (989) 463-5500. Published remarks also say to call ahead for hangar availability. Expect wildlife on and near the airport. Runway end identifier lights are on 09 and 27. PAPI is also on 09 and 27. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways and are controlled by CTAF. The admin building access note is unusual, so verify it before you plan to use the building after arrival.
