ICAO: E66
Name: MAPLE GROVE
Location: FOWLERVILLE, MICHIGAN
Elevation: 897 ft MSL
Traffic pattern altitude: 1,897 ft MSL (1,000 AGL)
Control tower: Non-towered (use CTAF)
Total runways: 0

Favored runway now: –

Maple Grove (E66) sits in Fowlerville, Michigan at 897 ft MSL. This is a heliport, not a fixed-wing runway field. No runways are listed. The airport does not have a control tower. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL only if the current Chart Supplement or local briefing supports that for your operation. The remarks matter here. Helipad H4 is the primary pad. H1 is defined by mowing. H2 and H3 have nonstandard perimeter lighting and local-use visual glide slope indicators. H2 and H3 also have local-use traffic pattern control on 123.025. Two-way radio communication is required on the CTAF. Fixed-wing traffic and pedestrian activity are both a factor because the helipad is colocated with 65G. Approach and departure operations are published between 300 and 230 degrees. No night operations are permitted unless the wind indicator and the airport beacon are lighted. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach or Cleveland ARTCC when approach is closed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the field elevation at E66 Maple Grove?

Field elevation is 897 ft MSL. That matters for density altitude planning and for setting your altimeter before any local work.

Is there a runway at Maple Grove E66?

No runways are listed in the published facts. This field is a heliport, so verify your arrival plan with the current Chart Supplement and the airport operator before you go.

What is the pattern altitude at E66?

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current Chart Supplement for the published traffic pattern, then brief the local helicopter pattern before arrival.

Does Maple Grove have a tower?

No. The field is non-towered. CTAF is 122.8. The remarks say two-way radio communication is required on CTAF.

Are there any ILS approaches at E66?

No ILS approaches are published. Check the current Chart Supplement for any other instrument procedures before planning an IFR arrival.

Which helipads are on the field at Maple Grove?

The published remarks identify H4 as the primary helipad. H1 is defined by mowing. H2 and H3 have local-use lighting and local-use visual glide slope indicators.

Can you fly into E66 at night?

Not unless the wind indicator and the airport beacon are lighted. The published remarks say no night operations are permitted otherwise.

What should a first-time pilot know before arriving at Maple Grove?

This is a shared helicopter environment with training traffic. Expect fixed-wing aircraft. Pedestrian activity near 65G is also a factor. Brief the local procedures, use CTAF and verify any clearance needs with Great Lakes Approach or Cleveland ARTCC.
