RWY 18

Putnam County Rgnl is in Greencastle, Indiana. The field elevation is 842 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36 and the longest runway is 5,002 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,842 ft MSL.

No ILS approaches are published here. For IFR work, plan around the current approach setup and coordinate with Indianapolis Approach as needed. The published remarks also note that clearance delivery is handled through Indianapolis Approach at 317-227-5743. The runway lights on 18/36 are CTAF-activated. The PAPI for both runway ends operates continuously. That helps at night. You still want to verify the lighting status before departure.

PDM Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. If you need fuel or local handling details, call them directly at (765) 721-1289 before you go. The runway approach slopes are also noted in the Chart Supplement, so watch your descent path on both ends. This is a non-towered airport with a single asphalt runway, so expect standard self-announce traffic flow on 122.8. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updated remarks before flying in.
