Griffith-Merrillville (05C)
Airport Information
Griffith-Merrillville Pilot Reviews:
Gregory A.
October 16, 2025I've now landed at 05C several times and can state the prior remarks summarize things well. The line crew/staff are all very fine and helpful. The bump on the runway exit/taxiway on the 08 side is actual... proceed slowly as many times you will need to use that taxiway to exit the runway for pattern traffic before back taxiing to the ramp. The trees, specifically one tree, are fairly tall on the 26 landing, but there is a displaced threshold that keeps you clear of it. Simple to Uber to/from.

February 21, 2025Tall trees on approach to RWY 26 are no joke. Use caution, especially in low visibility.
