GEN-AIRPARK sits in Geneseo, Illinois. Field elevation is 645 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,568 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field performance and check the surface before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the current Chart Supplement and local traffic calls to sort out the pattern before arrival. The published remarks also note parachute activity on and near the airport. That matters for both arrival planning and traffic scanning.
Runways 09 and 27 have displaced thresholds. The remarks also call out nonstandard low-intensity runway lights with nonstandard spacing and intensity. There is an obstruction fence 30 feet north of the approach end of runway 09. The approach slope for both ends is protected with a 20 to 1 surface to the displaced thresholds. A road is 3 feet below the runway end of runway 09.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service details. For clearance delivery, Chicago ARTCC is listed in the remarks. This is a small non-towered turf field. A first-time pilot should brief the runway condition, the displaced thresholds and the parachute activity before coming in.
