Mentone Airport (C92) sits in Mentone, Indiana. The field elevation is 860 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 2,521 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 1,860 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify the published pattern before you fly. The runway headings are magnetic. Magnetic variation is 2°.

The published remarks matter here. Crops are close to the runway ends. Crops are also reported east and west of the runway centerline. The runway 18 approach slope is noted as 20 to 1 from the displaced threshold. That means a stabilized approach is important, especially if you are coming in low or at a shallow angle. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan ahead for fuel and services. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before departure for any updated local information.
