There are no published ILS approaches here. The on-field FBO is Tuscola Airport. Fuel grades were not reported in the facts, so call ahead to confirm what is available before you go. Seasonal agricultural work is active at the airport. Crops near runway 09 can block the view of the threshold lights at times. Runway 27 also has a displaced threshold with nearby buildings that affect the approach path, so brief your arrival carefully.
The runway surface is chip and seal. The runway lighting setup on 09/27 does not define the center of the runway. If you need clearance delivery, contact Champaign Approach. If Approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field. This is a rural Illinois airport with a short single runway. Plan for local traffic, ag activity and a close look at the runway environment before landing.
