RWY 08L

Sylvania Airport (C89) sits in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 789 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 08L/26R at 2,343 ft. The other runway is 08R/26L at 2,272 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to use CTAF 122.8 for self-announce traffic. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. On the field, Sylvania Airport carries 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. The airport beacon operates from sunset to sunrise. Runway 08R/26L has medium intensity lighting that is controlled by CTAF. It also has a PAPI on runway 26L. Published remarks also note parachute activity and ultralights in and near the airport. That matters here. Expect mixed traffic and keep your scan active. There is also a rough area west of the 26R threshold near the skydiving hangar. Runway 08R/26L is closed to helicopter autorotation maneuvers. For IFR clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC.
