RWY 18

Bresson Airport sits near Compton, Illinois. Field elevation is 769 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,590 ft of turf, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,569 ft MSL.

No ILS approaches are published here. That makes current weather and a good look at the runway surface more important than usual. The field has no on-field FBOs listed, so plan ahead and verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.

A few published remarks matter for planning. Runway 18/36 edge lights are out of service indefinitely. The displaced threshold lights on both ends are also out of service indefinitely. Low intensity runway lighting is available on runway 18/36 by phone call. The airport is closed during winter months when snow covered except for ski equipped aircraft. Approach ratios are noted at the displaced thresholds on both ends, so pay close attention to the marked threshold area before landing. Clearance delivery is handled through Chicago ARTCC by phone when needed. This is a small turf field with no tower. A careful preflight and a current Chart Supplement check are smart before arrival.
