There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Pay close attention on final. The field also has self-serve 100LL.

Jerry Tyler Memorial Airport is an untowered field, so use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic calls. South Bend Approach handles the published approach frequencies. If you need clearance delivery and ground communications are not available, the Chart Supplement says to contact South Bend Approach or Chicago ARTCC depending on hours. First-time arrivals should plan for a small-field pattern. Watch the runway environment closely. Verify current notes in the Chart Supplement before departure.
