The Eastern Iowa Airport is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Field elevation is 869.3 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 09/27 at 8,600 ft. 13/31 is 6,200 ft. The field is towered, with the control tower open 0500-2330. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 09 and 27.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 27 is the calm wind runway. That matters here because the airport sits in a busy metro area, so expect normal towered-field traffic flow and stay sharp on taxi instructions. Birds are reported on and near the airport. Plan for that on departure and arrival.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. Eastern Iowa Airport is also on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-serve 100LL is available west of the general aviation apron. When the tower is closed, use CTAF for runway lighting activation. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. If you need after-hours fuel service, call the number in the Chart Supplement or the airport operator before you launch.
