Cowley Fld (96G) is in Sandusky, Michigan. The field elevation is 770 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest runway is 2,600 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway headings are 88° and 268° magnetic. That matters on a short turf strip with a narrow margin for setup.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services before you go. Published remarks call out deer and large birds in and near the airport. Snow removal is irregular, so verify surface condition before a winter arrival. The west end taxiway also has power poles close by. Three foot yellow cones mark the ends of both runway directions. For clearance delivery, Cleveland ARTCC is the published contact. A first-time pilot should plan for a non-towered turf field. Watch for wildlife. Confirm the runway is usable before committing.
