BETZ Airport (44G) is in Blissfield, Michigan. The field elevation is 691 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, which is 2,602 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Betz Airport has one on-field FBO listed as Betz Airport. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so call the field directly at (517) 499-4860 before you go. The airport sits in open country near the Michigan-Ohio border. Expect local traffic to be working a non-towered pattern. Clearance delivery for IFR release or other clearance needs is handled through Detroit Approach at 734-955-1404.
There are a few runway details worth planning for. Runway 09/27 is marked with yellow cones at the runway and displaced threshold. Runway 09 has a ditch 3 ft below field elevation near the threshold. Runway 27 has a 26 ft building near the threshold plus a marked 20 ft power line farther out. The runway surface is soft in spring. It is also closed when snow covered except for ski-equipped aircraft. Deer, large birds and seasonal crops in the primary surface are part of the picture here. Keep the scan tight on short final and during rollout.
