Hobart Sky Ranch is in Hobart, Indiana. Field elevation is 630.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,125 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

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 Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has several published runway notes that matter on a first visit. Runway 18 and runway 36 both have non-standard displaced threshold markings. Runway 18 is offset to the left side of the runway. Runway 36 numbering is smaller than standard. The runway pavement and shoulders are spalling. There is weed growth within the runway.

The published remarks also call out obstacles near both ends. Runway 36 has 40-foot trees near the departure end. Runway 18 has a road about 130 feet from the runway end. There is also a trailer park about 155 feet west of the runway. This is a field where a careful stabilized approach matters. The airport sits in the Chicago area, so check current airspace and any local operating notes before you go. For clearance delivery, Chicago Approach is listed in the remarks. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability.
