RWY 18U

Erie Air Park is in Erie, Illinois. The field elevation is 600 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18U/36U, at 2,000 ft on turf. No tower is published here. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The runway thresholds are marked with L-shaped white gravel. That helps with runway identification on the turf strip. Radio-controlled model aircraft activity occurs west of runway 36 on Wednesday evenings, weather permitting. Plan around that if you are arriving or departing then. For clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921.

This is a small non-towered field, so a good radio scan and a careful look at the turf condition matter. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Verify fuel and local services with the airport operator or the field directly before you go. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
