About Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport

Overview

Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport serves as a critical military aviation facility located in Mount Clemens, Michigan. Situated at 580 feet above mean sea level, the airport primarily supports Air National Guard operations with a substantial 9,000-foot primary runway (01/19). Its strategic location near Detroit provides a key infrastructure point for regional military aviation activities.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 69.2% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Seasonal temperature variations range dramatically from -20°C to 30°C, creating diverse flying environments throughout the year. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 28 knots, and calm conditions occurring 8.9% of the time.

Notable Features

The single runway (01/19) is equipped with a Pavement Edge Marking (PEM) surface, providing clear operational boundaries for aircraft. Wind data indicates a highly favorable runway alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 6.1 knots. September through November represent the most consistently favorable flying months based on historical meteorological data.

Approach Considerations

Visibility averages an excellent 9.1 statute miles, with infrequent low-visibility events (below 3SM occurring only 2.5% of observations). Pilots should anticipate potential fog conditions, which manifest in approximately 1.5% of observations. The prevailing westerly winds and substantial runway length provide reliable approach and departure options for most aircraft configurations.
