Saginaw County/H W Browne sits in Saginaw, Michigan. Field elevation is 601.5 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 10/28 at 5,002 ft. This is a non-towered field. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 28 has the published ILS. Runway 28 also has MALSR lighting. Runway 10 has REIL. PAPI is published on both ends of 10/28 and on both ends of 05/23. HIRL is on 10/28. MIRL is on 05/23 and is controlled by CTAF. Great Lakes Approach handles clearance delivery. When approach is closed, Cleveland ARTCC is the backup contact listed in the remarks.
Harry W. Browne Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A+. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours a day. That helps for late arrivals. Watch runway 23 closely. The published remarks call out a culvert near the end of the runway and a ditch across the approach end. Deer and large birds are also reported on and near the airport. Major holidays can mean the airport is unattended, so plan ahead if you need local help.
