St Louis Downtown Airport (KCPS) sits in Cahokia, Illinois, across the river from St. Louis. Field elevation is 412.9 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is 12R/30L at 7,002 ft. The field is towered from 0630 to 2200 local. One ILS is published for runway 30L.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Jet Aviation St. Louis is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (618) 646-8263 for current service details.
Plan for a busy training environment. The published remarks call out student traffic and helicopter operations. Waterfowl are also present on and near the airport. Runway 12L/30R and runway 05/23 have published restrictions for larger passenger operations. Runway 23 has faded surface markings. When the tower is closed, runway lighting changes on 30L and 30R. Review the current lighting setup before a night arrival. Surface conditions are not maintained from 2100 to 0700 local time. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
