No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a water field, so plan for a seaplane arrival and make sure your water operations setup is current before you go.

Published remarks matter here. For clearance delivery, contact Pontiac Tower on 118.25. When the tower is closed, contact Detroit Approach at 734-955-1404. When Pontiac Tower is open, aircraft going in and out of 41D must get Pontiac ATIS first. Then contact Pontiac on 120.5 before entering Class D airspace. Pontiac provides Class D services while aircraft are transiting to and from 41D and are visible from Pontiac. Pontiac does not provide airport traffic control services at 41D.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need current services. The field is in the Detroit metro area. Expect busy airspace and coordinate early.
