POPE FLD sits in Greenfield, Indiana. The field elevation is 895 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is 18/36 at 2,165 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 1,895 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify the published pattern before you go. Clearance delivery is handled through Indianapolis Approach at 317-227-5743.

The runway environment needs a close look before arrival. Runway 18 has a displaced threshold. The published remarks also call out inoperative runway lights at that threshold. There are 70-foot trees near the 18 end. Crops are also noted near the runway area. That makes the approach and departure picture more important than the short runway length alone. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan to coordinate with the airport operator or call ahead for current services and fuel availability.
