Skyway Estates (60G) sits in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. The field elevation is 931 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 2,653 ft of turf, which makes runway length and surface condition the main planning items here.
This is an untowered field. CTAF is 122.9. Great Lakes Approach handles clearance delivery on 118.65 or 226.4. If approach is closed, the published remarks say to contact Cleveland ARTCC. No ILS approaches are published for 60G. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The published remarks matter here. The runway and displaced thresholds are marked with 3 ft yellow cones on both ends. The runway surface is soft when wet, so check field conditions with the airport manager before you go. There are also cataloged obstructions on both approaches. Runway 26 has trees near the threshold. Runway 08 has trees closer in as well. That makes a stabilized approach important, especially with a turf strip and a 2,653 ft runway.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. Unmanned aircraft system operations occur south of runway 08/26, so keep that in mind during taxi, takeoff and landing planning.
