Aurora Muni sits in Chicago/Aurora, Illinois. Field elevation is 712 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is 6,501 ft on 09/27. The tower is open 0700-2100. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 09 and 33. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
J.A. Air Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The airport remarks also note that fixed base operator services are available on 122.95 and 123.50. That is useful if you need ramp help or fuel coordination before arrival. The published remarks flag cracks and vegetative growth on runway 18/36. There is also rising ground near the runway 18 end. Seasonal crops are present in the Part 77 surfaces for 09/27 and 15/33, so keep an eye out on the arrival and departure path.
Lighting is worth planning for. MALSR serves 09 and 33. REIL is available on 18, 36, 15 and 27. When the tower is closed, HIRL are available on 15/33 and 09/27. MIRL on 18/36 are preset to low intensity. Use CTAF to increase intensity and activate them. The airport has 800 ft limits for piston aircraft and 1,500 ft for jet aircraft. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
