Brighton Airport (45G) is in Brighton, Michigan. The field elevation is 973 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 3,105 ft of asphalt, so plan performance with that length in mind.

This is an uncontrolled airport. There is no tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. With the field sitting near Detroit airspace, get your clearance delivery details from Detroit Approach at 734-955-1404 if you need them.

The published remarks matter here. There are trees close to both ends. The 22 approach has a private road and a public road near the runway, plus taller obstacles on final. The 04 approach also has trees close in. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport. Call the airport manager before winter operations to verify runway condition and snow removal. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival.
