CAIN FLD sits near Stanwood, Michigan. Field elevation is 897 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is a 3,472 ft turf strip. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,897 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport has no on-field FBOs listed, so plan ahead for fuel and services before you go. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone if you need current availability.
The published remarks matter here. There are cataloged obstructions near both runway ends. Runway 18 has trees close in on the approach side. Runway 36 has trees near the displaced threshold plus a power line farther out. The runway and displaced threshold are marked with yellow cones. There is no snow removal. Wildlife is also reported on and near the airport. This is a turf field with a single 3,472 ft runway, so soft-field technique and a conservative performance check make sense. If you need clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach. When approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC.
