RWY 18

Mount Hawley Auxiliary Airport sits in Peoria, Illinois. Field elevation is 793.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 4,001 ft long with an asphalt surface. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Approach and departure services are handled by St. Louis on 125.8 or 269.2.

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. Runway 36 has REIL and a VASI. Medium intensity runway lights for 18/36 operate from sunset to sunrise. That helps at night. It also means you should brief the lighting setup before arrival.

The on-field FBO is Mount Hawley Auxiliary Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Published remarks also note 24-hour self-serve fuel with credit card. If you need the manager, the published contact details are in the Chart Supplement. For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the single-runway layout, the non-towered pattern and the lack of published ILS. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or local operating notes before you go.
