Van Wagnen (6H4) sits near Napoleon, Michigan. Field elevation is 988 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,105 ft long and 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 traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has published remarks that matter on a first visit. Taxi to runway 09 uses a 300 ft segment marked with yellow tires. There is also a 4 ft electrical box north of the runway centerline near the 09 end. Seasonal 8 ft crops can be in the runway 27 approach. Large birds and deer are reported on and near the airport. Snow removal is irregular, so runway condition should be checked with the airport manager before departure.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-briefing the field and calling ahead if you need local condition updates. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach when it is open. If approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. The runway environment is short, turf and exposed to wildlife and seasonal crop issues. A conservative performance check makes sense before you launch.
