Posey Patch (IN3) is in Mount Vernon, Indiana. Field elevation is 374 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 1,300 ft long and surfaced turf-dirt. The runway headings are magnetic 090° and 270°. Runway 05/23 is closed indefinitely, so plan around the published 09/27 strip only.

This is an uncontrolled field with no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL reference for light piston traffic. That puts the pattern at 1,374 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The airport remarks also note that the new runway threshold was placed under airspace letter 84-AGL-377-NRA. Ultralights only are mentioned in that note, so verify current use and access before you go.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need fuel or ground handling. For clearance delivery, contact Evansville Approach at 812-436-4690. If approach is closed, contact Indianapolis ARTCC at 317-247-2411. With a short turf-dirt runway and no published ILS, this is a field where a pilot should plan conservatively and verify current conditions before departure.
