SKYDIVE CHICAGO (8N2) sits in Ottawa, Illinois at 616 ft MSL. The field has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 4,522 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator gives you something different. The airport has published noise abatement guidance for a wide pattern to runway 03. That matters here because parachute activity is extensive on and near the airport.
Low intensity runway lights on 03/21 are radio activated on 122.725. Published remarks also note a 7-foot shrub near the runway 21 end. They note 7-foot crops near the runway 03 end. A 268-foot cellular tower sits about one half mile west-southwest of runway 03. The field is surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current service details before arrival. If you need clearance delivery, Chicago ARTCC is listed at 630-906-8921. Pilots should plan for active jump operations and keep a close eye on traffic in the pattern.
