Schaumburg Muni Heliport (4H1) sits in Chicago/Schaumburg, Illinois. Field elevation is 730 ft MSL. This is a heliport, so there are no runways listed. No ILS approaches are published. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.

The published pattern altitude is not given. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic only if that matches your operation and the current published guidance. The heliport is closed from 2200 until sunrise. No night operations are allowed unless the wind indicator is lighted and the beacon is installed. Clearance delivery is handled through Chicago Approach at 847-289-0926.

Published remarks matter here. Arrivals and departures are expected from the 100 degree side plus the 240 to 260 degree side. Avoid overflight of the residential area 2,000 ft west. The H1 pad has nearby buildings and a tree close to the approach path, so plan your approach with that in mind. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify current support with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. For a first-time pilot, this is a close-in heliport with local operating limits. Review the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
