There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify current services with the airport operator before arrival. Published remarks also say winter use of Runway 09/27 is at your own risk because it is not plowed. During growing season, corn up to 10 ft may be present near the runway ends. The field also notes that clearance delivery is handled through Chicago ARTCC. For a first-time arrival, the big items are the turf surface, the seasonal obstructions and the low-intensity lighting setup on 09/27.
