De Kalb Taylor Muni is in De Kalb, Illinois. Field elevation is 912.6 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 7,026 ft on 02/20. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF self-announce work on 122.7. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 02 has the published ILS. That matters if you are planning an instrument arrival in marginal weather. The field also has a preferred calm wind runway of 02. Medium intensity runway lights on 02/20 are preset to low intensity. If you need more lighting on 09/27, use the CTAF to activate it. Use the CTAF to activate the PAPI and runway end lights on those ends. The PAPI on 02 and 20 operates 24 hours.
