Cairo Regional Airport sits in Cairo, Illinois. Field elevation is 322 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,001 ft on runway 14/32. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 for self-announce traffic. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. That makes current weather and your own arrival planning more important, especially if you are coming in at night or with lower ceilings. The field has one on-field FBO, Cairo Regional Airport. It carries 100LL. Self-service 100LL is available 24 hours. Runway lighting is worth a look before you go. Runway 14/32 has medium intensity lights preset to low. You can raise the intensity on CTAF. Runway 02/20 lighting is available by prior request only by calling the airport.

For a first-time arrival, keep the airport’s non-towered setup in mind. Use 122.8 for CTAF and UNICOM. Clearance delivery is handled through Memphis ARTCC by phone. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
