Porter County Regional’s instrument coverage reaches three of its four runway ends. The mix provides an ILS precision option together with RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures, while one runway end has no published approach this cycle. The 7,001 ft runway offers substantially more available length than the 4,001 ft crossing runway, so aircraft requiring more than the shorter strip can use only the longer alignment.
Griffith-Merrillville has equally broad chart coverage nearby, while Hobart Sky Ranch and La Porte Municipal have smaller sets; Starke County and Michigan City Municipal-Phillips Field are thinner again. The Chicago Sectional adds the wider visual context around Valparaiso that the airport diagram and terminal procedures do not provide.
