POST-AIR sits in Indianapolis, Indiana. Field elevation is 861 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 3,750 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. 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 for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. For runway 28, plan around the published obstacle notes. There is a lighted television tower 2,640 feet north of the approach end. The remarks also call out a power line, road, house and trees near that end of the runway. The approach slope is noted as 5 to 1 because of a building near the displaced threshold. That makes a careful stabilized approach important.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. Call the field on CTAF for current service availability. For clearance delivery, Indianapolis Approach is listed in the remarks. If you are planning a night arrival, use the runway lights on CTAF and verify current airport status before you go.
