Grissom ARB sits near Peru, Indiana. Field elevation is 810.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 05/23, which is 12,501 ft long. The tower is open 1230-0400Z and is closed on federal holidays. Two ILS approaches are published, one for runway 05 and one for runway 23.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway is long enough for heavy aircraft. This is a military field with special use airspace overhead and northwest. Heavy and fighter jet training also remains northwest within 10 NM. Expect that to matter on arrival and departure planning.
