Flora Muni sits in Flora, Illinois. The field elevation is 472.6 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 5,003 ft on runway 03/21.

Runway 03/21 is asphalt. Runway 15/33 is turf and 2,715 ft long. The published remarks matter here. Runway 15/33 is soft when wet. It is day use only. The approach slope to the displaced threshold on 15 is 17 to 1. That is worth checking before you plan a short-field arrival. Runway 03/21 has medium intensity lights that come up on low by default. Use CTAF to raise intensity. CTAF also controls the PAPI on 03/21. Runway end identifier lights on 21 are also activated on CTAF.

There is one ILS approach to runway 21. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City Center at the published number before departure if you need an IFR release or clearance. Flora Municipal Airport is on the field and carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Fuel is self-serve with credit card. If you are new to the airport, watch the lighting setup and the turf runway condition after rain. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
