North Vernon Airport (KOVO) sits in North Vernon, Indiana. Field elevation is 757.2 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 5,002 ft. Runway 15/33 is 2,730 ft.
There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Indianapolis Approach handles clearance delivery. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan for non-precision or visual work only and verify current procedures before you go. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
North Vernon Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 24-hour self-serve fuel is available. Runway 05 and runway 23 have PAPI and medium intensity lights that are activated by CTAF. That is useful after dark. Brief the CTAF lighting activation before arrival.
The field is in a low-elevation Indiana setting, so terrain is not the main issue. The bigger operational items are the short-field feel on runway 15/33, the published crop obstructions near the ends of all four runway directions and the lack of published ILS service. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before flying in.
