Grissom ARB sits near Peru, Indiana. Field elevation is 810.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 05/23, which is 12,501 ft long. The tower is open 1230-0400Z and is closed on federal holidays. Two ILS approaches are published, one for runway 05 and one for runway 23.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway is long enough for heavy aircraft. This is a military field with special use airspace overhead and northwest. Heavy and fighter jet training also remains northwest within 10 NM. Expect that to matter on arrival and departure planning.
Miami County Aviation is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A PRIST. Fuel is reported as military during operating hours, which run from 1230 to 0400Z and beyond. The FBO is closed Friday 2200Z through Monday 1230Z. Prior permission is required for airfield operations. Runway 05/23 has concrete for the first 1,000 ft, then asphalt. The published remarks also note runway lights set 28 ft from the edge. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and call the airport operator before you go.
