Elkhart Muni sits in Elkhart, Indiana. The field elevation is 777.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 6,500 ft. The airport is towered. Tower hours are 0700-2100 Monday through Friday. Weekend hours are 0800-1800. Runway 27 has the field’s ILS. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Indiana Flight Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Taxiways are marked with reflectors. Taxiway A is not available to aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats. The published remarks also note that runway 27 has MALSR lighting. Runway 09, 18 and 36 have REIL. Runway 09 and 36 have VASI. Runway 18 and 27 have PAPI. When the tower is closed, lighting changes apply. Check the current Chart Supplement before a night arrival.
For a first-time pilot, the main things to plan for are the tower schedule, the runway 27 instrument setup and the runway 08/26 note. VFR operations on runway 08/26 are permitted only during tower hours. Runway 36 also has faded markings. Brush is close to the threshold area. If you are flying in from outside the area, verify the current airspace and any local procedures before you go.
