La Porte Muni Airport sits in La Porte, Indiana at 812 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 02/20 at 5,000 ft. Runway 14/32 is 2,797 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. For approach and departure work, South Bend Approach handles clearance delivery and radar services when available. If South Bend Approach is closed, clearance delivery goes through Chicago ARTCC. The field uses CTAF 123.0 and UNICOM 123.0. Runway lighting includes medium intensity lights on both runways. REIL is available on 02, 14, 20 and 32. PAPI is available on 02, 20 and 32.
LaPorte Municipal Airport is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and MOGAS. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours on the east side. Published remarks also call out farm equipment near the movement area. There are crop obstructions near runway 14 and runway 20. That makes a close look at the runway ends smart on arrival. The airport sits in flat terrain, so the main operational issues are runway length, lighting and local traffic. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or operating notes before you go.
