RWY 21

Vermilion Regional Airport sits in Danville, Illinois. Field elevation is 696.9 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is runway 03/21 at 6,006 ft. There is no control tower, so plan for CTAF traffic and self-announced coordination. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,697 ft MSL.

Runway 21 has the published ILS. Runways 03, 16 and 34 have visual glide path aids. Runway 03/21 uses high intensity lighting that starts at low intensity. Use CTAF to raise the lights and activate the MALSR for runway 21. Runway 16/34 has medium intensity lights controlled by CTAF. Runway 12/30 is turf and seasonal from November 1 to May 1. Expect to verify its status before you launch.

Midwest Aero Restorations is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Weekend glider activity is extensive, so keep a sharp scan in the pattern. Air cargo Part 135 departures occur nightly at 2200. Arrivals occur daily at 0600 Monday through Saturday. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach it by radio, contact Champaign Approach. When Approach is closed, contact Chicago ARTCC. First-time visitors should also note the airport sits in central Illinois with a mix of paved and turf operations. Runway selection matters.
