Converse Airport sits in Converse, Indiana. The field elevation is 840 ft MSL. It has one runway, 07/25, with a published length that is not listed in the facts here. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a small non-towered field, so plan to self-announce clearly and keep an eye out for radio controlled airplanes on and near the airport. The remarks also show runway-specific obstacles. Runway 07 has crops 90 feet right of centerline near the threshold. Runway 25 has a 2 foot utility box 40 feet right of centerline near the threshold. Both ends have a published 21 to 1 approach slope to the displaced threshold. The runway surface is concrete with an asphalt strip down the middle.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need fuel or other services. For clearance delivery, the published contact is Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. The field existed before 1959, so expect a simple rural airport setup rather than modern towered-field infrastructure.
