SCHUY-RUSH is in Rushville, Illinois. Field elevation is 665 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 09/27, which is 3,565 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 09/27 has low intensity lighting that is activated by CTAF. The published remarks also note displaced thresholds on both ends. Runway 09 is unlighted for the first 305 ft. Runway 27 is unlighted for the first 313 ft. That is worth a close look on a night arrival or a short-field departure.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan fuel and services with the airport operator or by calling ahead before arrival. For clearance delivery, Kansas City ARTCC is listed in the remarks. The runway is turf, so expect to think about surface condition, braking and field length before you commit. The field sits in a rural area, so the main pilot concerns are runway condition, lighting setup and the displaced threshold markings at both ends.
