Litchfield Muni sits in Litchfield, Illinois. The field elevation is 690.5 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 4,002 ft. Runway 09/27 is 3,900 ft. The airport is non-towered, so CTAF discipline matters. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. St. Louis Approach handles the area on 124.2 and 353.9. Clearance delivery is handled through St Louis Approach at 314-890-1017.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,690.5 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport also has an aerobatic area from 1,700 ft to 4,200 ft MSL above the airport. Keep that in mind when you are planning climbs and descents near the field.
On the field, Central Air Services and Litchfield Municipal Airport are both listed. Each carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-serve 100 low lead fuel is available 24 hours. Runway end identifier lights are active on all four runway ends. PAPI is also installed on 09, 27, 18 and 36. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. For a first visit, watch the aerobatic area. Expect a quiet non-towered pattern. Verify any current airport notes with the Chart Supplement before you go.
