You’re eager for your day trip to meet the gang and head to East Lansing, Michigan for a Spartans football game—provided you can get yourself to Tecumseh, southeast of Michigan State University. No big deal; it’s less than two hours’ flight from your home base and you’re in your trusty Cessna 182. So far so good, until you actually see what’s in store for you.

Welcome to Tecumseh

Tecumseh has just one airport offering an IFR approach, Meyers-Diver’s Airport. And it seems pretty basic in the amenities, but you won’t need much as your buddy will pick you up in his Hummer. Plus, 3TE is close enough to Detroit to advertise the SPRTN Three arrival via the DXO VOR to join an approach from the north, so you can expect a convenient, predictable route with lots of nice alternates.
