Arnold Fld (55G) is in Croswell, Michigan. The field elevation is 784 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,570 ft of turf, which makes this a short-field, soft-field airport for light aircraft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 18 and runway 36 both have displaced threshold markings. The approach ratio to each displaced threshold is 20 to 1. Runway 36 has a displaced threshold that sits 5 ft above the runway end. Seasonal crops are reported near the runway 18 end. Deer and large birds are also reported on and near the airport. The airport is closed from November through March except for ski-equipped aircraft.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify current services with the airport operator before you go. For clearance delivery, the published remarks direct pilots to Cleveland ARTCC. First-time visitors should pay close attention to the turf condition. They should also respect the seasonal closure and the displaced threshold markings before committing to the landing.
