Brooks Field (ICAO: KRMY, FAA LID: RMY) is a city-owned, public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) south of the central business district of Marshall, a city in Calhoun County, Michigan, United States.[1] Brooks Field was officially dedicated in 1931, although the first plane landed there on November 9, 1929.[2]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned RMY by the FAA and no designation from the IATA.[3] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.[4]
Facilities and aircraft
[edit]Brooks Field covers an area of 170 acres (69 ha) at an elevation of 941 feet (287 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 10/28 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,501 by 75 feet (1,067 x 23 m). It also has a one helipad designated H1 with a concrete surface measuring 50 by 50 feet (15 x 15 m).[1][5][6][7] The airport is staffed from 8AM until dusk, except for major holidays.
The airport has a fixed-base operator that offers aircraft parking, lounges, and avgas.[8]
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2020, the airport had 8,400 operations, an average of 23 per day. This included almost 100% general aviation and <1% military. At that time there were 36 aircraft based on the field, including 31 single-engine airplanes, 4 gliders, and 1 multi-engine airplane.[1][5][6][7]
Transit
[edit]The closest highway is Interstate 69 (I-69), which is approximately two miles (3.2 km) west of the airport. I-94 is also very close to the airport. The airport is accessible by road from Kalamazoo Street.
