Benton Muni sits in Benton, Illinois at 444.1 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 4,002 ft long with asphalt pavement. The field is not towered. 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 pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lights on 18/36 are preset to low intensity. You can increase them by keying the CTAF. Runway 18 markings are faded. Runway 36 markings are faded too, so plan your landing and rollout with that in mind.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City ARTCC at 913-254-8508.
