Big Long Lake (56I) sits in Kendallville, Indiana. The field elevation is 940 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13W/31W, which is a 2,675 ft water runway. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. For this field, that works out to about 1,940 ft MSL based on the listed elevation. Seaplane operations are prohibited between sunset and sunrise. Heavy boat traffic is expected from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Do not block boat ramps. Docking areas are limited.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on verifying services with the airport operator or by calling the field on CTAF before arrival. This is a water airport, so watch for traffic on the lake. Watch for wake near the ramps. Watch for room to maneuver on the surface. The manager is listed as Boating Law Admir. If you are new to the field, get the current Chart Supplement before you go. That is the best place to confirm any local operating notes before a seaplane arrival.
