Portland Muni sits in Portland, Indiana at 925.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 5,505 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. The airport uses CTAF 122.8 for local traffic. UNICOM is on the same frequency.
No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is served by Portland Municipal Airport, which carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO at (260) 729-1577 before arrival if you need current service details.
Lighting is straightforward for night work. Runway end identifier lights are active on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are pilot controlled on CTAF. The PAPI on runways 09 and 27 operates continuously. Be aware that the PAPI on runway 27 is unusable more than 3 degrees right of centerline. Seasonal crops can be near runway 09. There is also a lighted water tower southeast of the field and a grain elevator east-southeast of the airport. For IFR clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921.
