If Approach is closed, clearance delivery goes through Indianapolis ARTCC.

A few remarks matter on a first visit. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 13 and 31. Medium intensity runway lights on 13/31 are controlled by CTAF. PAPI is available on both runway ends all day. Watch the published obstructions near both ends. There are crops 170 ft right of centerline near runway 31. Trees 100 ft left of centerline near runway 13. The threshold of runway 13 also has a 15 to 1 clearance slope note. This is a good field to brief before arrival, especially if you are planning a night or low-visibility approach.
