Mississinewa Reservoir Landing Area (43I) sits in Peru, Indiana, in Miami County. Field elevation is 737 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so plan this as a seaplane landing area rather than a paved-strip stop. No ILS approaches are published. CTAF is 122.9. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if that fits the aircraft and local operating picture. Then verify the current Chart Supplement before you go.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need local support. Published remarks say a lake use permit is required. Call 765 473-6528 for that. Seaplane operations are prohibited between sunset and sunrise. Ingress and egress should be coordinated with Grissom Air Force Base approach control on 120.0. For clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921.

This is a low-elevation Indiana water landing area with no published runway infrastructure. That means the practical planning items are water access, local coordination and daylight timing. Verify the current Chart Supplement for any changes before flying in.
