Flight Simulator Flights at Y04 Sugar Loaf Resort Airport

Sugar Loaf Resort Airport (Y04) is a small private-use airfield at Cedar, Michigan, built to serve the Sugar Loaf resort community in the Leelanau Peninsula. It offers a single hard-surfaced runway and represents the kind of quiet, uncontrolled strip that a general aviation pilot might use for resort access rather than any scheduled traffic.

Overview

Sugar Loaf Resort Airport carries the ICAO identifier Y04 and lies at Cedar, Michigan, at an elevation of 817 feet. Its name reflects its origin as an airfield built to support the Sugar Loaf resort, giving it the character of a small private-use field rather than a commercial or municipal aerodrome. For a simulator pilot it is of interest chiefly as an example of a low-key rural Michigan strip tied to a single leisure development.
