The Grayling Army Airfield is a joint use military/civilian field, and is fully open to civil aviation
at all times.

The control tower and Class D surface area are effective on a part-time basis, see NOTAMs for
tower operation.  When the tower is closed or is only providing VFR advisories, airspace is Class E
surface area.  The tower is usually open in the summer during National Guard summer training,
and sometimes at other times.  Call the tower frequency first before using CTAF..

Runway 5/23 is currently closed in winter, but that may change in the future.  Check NOTAMs.

The instrument approaches are:

• RNAV (GPS) RWY 14
• VOR RWY 14
• NDB RWY 14

At present, the taxiways are not lighted, so exercise extra caution at night.  Taxiway F to the GA
facility has reflectors.

All civil traffic is to proceed to the General Aviation Facility located at the north end of the field.
The GA taxiway (Taxiway F) joins runway 5/23 at the northeast end, at the departure end of
runway 5.  Taxiway A also joins the runway at this point, from the south.

Winter Operations

Snowstorms and heavy snowshowers are common in northern Michigan during winter and
can result in unexpected accumulations on runways and taxiways.  Also, some degree of
accumulated ice (usually patchy) on movement surfaces is common.  Pilots should use caution
and diligence in planning and operating.  Careful checking of weather conditions and forecasts,
as well as NOTAMs, is important.  Pilots should also contact Flight Watch for in-flight
updates to see if new information including NOTAMs is available, and always have alternate
plans and extra fuel.
