Sugar Springs Airport Orientation

Sugar Springs airstrip is a Michigan air strip property jewel tucked away on the northern end of a large golf and water recreation development subdivision in central Michigan. All the home sites around the airstrip have potential for direct runway access, and Google map of the airstrip shows about about half have been developed. Download the 2005 Sugar Springs Community Brochure from the Wiki File Gallery. We're looking to build a stronger pilot community. Contact one of us, and drop by to say hello!

NOAA 5M6 Airport Weather is available (note the ASOS given is for Roscommon County airport, east side of Houghton Lake, 15 miles NW of the airport). Airnav.com provides 0MI1 (old private designation) 5M6 (public use as of 2011) Airport Information.

Airport is at the top of the aerial photo and plat map below:

If you're not ready to build a house, all the Highlander II area Sugar Springs lots by the airstrip are setup for easy camping. You could use a tent, but it's a lot more comfortable to put in water, sewer, and electric and bring an RV in for the summer.

Flight Training Opportunities

CFI A/G

If you're interested in learning to fly, currency training, bi-annual flight reviews, or just good flight stories and conversation, stop by! I'm a 2800+ hour military and civilian pilot, and an FAA Certified Flight Instructor for both SEL (complex, and tail wheel) and gliders. I'm also available for Mustang II home-built transition training, and motorglider qualification.

Motorgliders are a low-cost option that works great in mid-Michigan. I'm interested in basing a home built Sonex Aircraft Xenos motorglider. Glider pilot licenses are unique in that you do not need a medical certification to fly, and this may work perfect for the many retired folks settling into Sugar Springs. Motorgliders are a good mix - slow enough to be enjoyed and inexpensive to operate - fast enough for state-wide or regional transportation (~100 mph plus or minus).
