HONAKER FLD is in Scottsburg, Indiana. Field elevation is 600 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. The longest runway is 02/20 at 2,750 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Trees are present in all quadrants around the airport. That matters on arrival and departure, especially with a turf strip and a short field. The airport is closed from December 1 to April 1, so verify status before planning a trip.

Runway ends and the threshold area are marked by orange cones. That is useful to know on a first visit because the markings are not the same as a paved field. For clearance delivery, contact Louisville Approach at 502-375-7499. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so call the airport operator directly before arrival if you need local support or fuel information.
