Carmi Muni sits in Carmi, Illinois. The field elevation is 387.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 4,000 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport uses CTAF 122.8 for local traffic. Evansville Approach handles clearance delivery at 127.35 and 343.7. If approach is closed, contact Indianapolis ARTCC. The airport is closed on federal holidays.

The on-field FBO is Carmi Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (618) 380-4211 for current service status before you go. Runway lighting on 18/36 is medium intensity and starts at low intensity. Use the CTAF to raise intensity. That also activates the PAPI on runways 18 and 36. Runway end identifier lights on runway 36 also come on that way. For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the non-towered pattern. Plan for the published lighting setup. You will also be dealing with Evansville Approach for clearance work rather than a local tower.
