ST LOUIS RGNL is in Alton, Illinois near the St. Louis area. Field elevation is 543.5 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 11/29 at 8,099 ft. Runway 17/35 is 6,500 ft.
The field is towered. Tower hours are 0700-2200. One ILS is published for runway 29. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the usual pattern reference at 1,543.5 ft MSL.
West Star Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The remarks also matter here. Runway 11/29 has a published pavement rating. Runway 17/35 and runway 11/29 both have restrictions for some large passenger operations. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. Migratory bird activity is noted from September through April. If you arrive after hours, the published remarks give a phone number for attendant service. The lighting setup also uses CTAF to increase intensity when the tower is closed.
For a first-time arrival, pay attention to the runway alignment. Runway 11 and 17 approach ends are closely aligned. Verify the correct heading before departure. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current noise, lighting, or operational notes before you go.
