Oakland Southwest Airport is in New Hudson, Michigan. The field elevation is 926.1 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 3,128 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Detroit Approach handles clearance delivery. The published frequencies are 132.35 and 284.0.
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 Chart Supplement says otherwise. Oakland Southwest Airport is an on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Call (248) 437-2333 for current services.
This is a field where the published remarks matter. Runway lights on 08/26 are activated by CTAF at low intensity. The VASI on both ends is out of service indefinitely. The remarks also call out trees, brush, a ditch near runway 08 and several obstructions near both ends. Runway 26 has a tree right at the displaced threshold area. Power lines and more trees are left of centerline. Deer and large birds are also reported on and near the airport. If you are planning a first visit, brief the departure and arrival carefully. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updated operational notes.
