Morris Muni/James R Washburn Fld sits in Morris, Illinois. Field elevation is 584.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 5,501 ft asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Chicago Approach handles clearance delivery. 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 Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Morris Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (815) 942-1600 for current service details before you go.
Published remarks note medium intensity runway lights on 18/36. The lights are preset low. Use CTAF to increase intensity. Use CTAF to activate the runway end identifier lights. That matters after dark or in low visibility. The field also has a long history. It existed before 1959.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the non-towered pattern, Chicago Approach coordination for clearances and the lighting setup if you are arriving at night. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any changes before flight.
