Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 09R and 27L.

Clearance delivery is handled by South Bend Approach when it is open. If Approach is closed, use Chicago ARTCC for clearance delivery.

It is not available for certain scheduled passenger operations. It is also closed when the tower is closed. The field has bird activity in and around the airport.
