RWY 12

Mishawaka Pilots Club is in Elkhart, Indiana. The field elevation is 755 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 3,140 ft on runway 12/30, which is turf. Runway 03/21 is 2,243 ft asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,755 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify the current published pattern before you fly. The airport is a non-towered field, so expect self-announce traffic and keep a close scan in the pattern.

Published remarks matter here. South Bend Approach handles clearance delivery when needed. If South Bend Approach is closed, Chicago ARTCC is the backup contact for clearance delivery. The beacon is out of service indefinitely. Runway 30 has ground markers. Runway 12 has ground markers. The approach slopes are steeply limited on runway 03, runway 21 and runway 12, so pay attention to displaced threshold and obstacle clearance details before arrival. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current fuel and service availability.
