St Helen (6Y6) sits in St Helen, Michigan. Field elevation is 1,198 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 2,600 ft. Both runways are turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is closed December through March and when snow covered. Check status before you launch. Published remarks also call out displaced thresholds marked with 3-foot yellow cones. Runway 12 has a tree near the approach path. Runway 18 has a tree near the approach path as well. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport.
There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. This is a non-towered turf field with seasonal closure and obstacle notes that matter on short final. A first-time pilot should review the current Chart Supplement, confirm runway condition and pay close attention to the displaced thresholds and wildlife.
