Holmes County Airport details, services, and safety guidance for residents
Holmes County Airport near Millersburg operates as the county general aviation hub, offering fuel, maintenance, and instrument approaches for visiting pilots. Its runway length, lighting and seasonal approach procedures matter to residents who host visitors for events and business and to pilots managing wildlife and winter weather risks.
Holmes County Airport, FAA identifier 10G, sits roughly two miles southwest of Millersburg and continues to serve general aviation traffic for Holmes County. The uncontrolled field opened in March 1962 and operates without a control tower, so pilots use CTAF UNICOM frequency 123.0 to coordinate arrivals and departures. The field elevation is 1,226.5 feet which factors into aircraft performance calculations on colder and hotter days.
The airport has one asphalt runway, 9 slash 27, measuring 4,400 by 75 feet and listed in fair condition. Lighting includes medium intensity edge lights, a two light PAPI on the left for runway 27 set to a 3.00 degree glide path, and runway end identifier lights on both runway 09 and 27. The airport beacon displays white green lights. Traffic patterns are left traffic for both runways. Instrument guidance is available, with RNAV GPS approaches published for both runway 09 and runway 27. Pilots are advised to obtain current approach plates and NOTAMs before flying, the airport being listed as NOTAM facility 10G with NOTAM D service available.
On the ground, the airport hosts an FBO under Professionals Aviation Company Inc. Fuel offerings include 100LL and Jet A, and parking options include hangars and tiedowns. Airframe and powerplant maintenance is listed as major, supporting routine and more extensive work for visiting aircraft. Aviation services are linked to regional traffic control and flight service centers, with Indianapolis Center providing ARTCC services and Cleveland Flight Service Station handling flight support. Weather updates are broadcast on the AWOS 3 frequency 128.325 and the AWOS phone line is 330 674 6279.
Operational remarks note wildlife hazards, including DEER ON amp INVOF ARPT, so pilots should exercise caution on arrival and departure. For residents and local businesses the airport is both an access point for visitors attending local events and a component of the county economic fabric. During winter months and periods of low visibility the combination of instrument procedures, current NOTAMs and AWOS reports becomes especially important for safe operations. The Holmes County Airport Authority manages the field from an office at 10 S Clay St, Millersburg, with on site management listed under Larry Clark in official records.
