- The medium intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights is active on runway 03. Runway end identifier lights and precision approach path indicators are available on runway 21. High intensity runway lights are installed on runways 03 and 21. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on runways 10 and 28 and are controlled by the common traffic advisory frequency. From sunset to sunrise, high intensity runway lights on runways 03 and 21 and medium intensity runway lights on runways 10 and 28 are preset to low intensity. Increase intensity by using the common traffic advisory frequency.Show FAA

Harrel W Timmons Galesburg Rgnl sits in Galesburg, Illinois at 764.3 ft MSL. It is an uncontrolled field with no control tower. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 03/21 at 5,792 ft. Runway 10/28 is 3,600 ft. One ILS approach is published for runway 03. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Jet Air, Inc. is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours. The lighting setup matters here. Runway 03 has medium intensity approach lights with runway alignment indicator lights. Runway 21 has runway end identifier lights and precision approach path indicators. Runways 03 and 21 have high intensity runway lights. Runways 10 and 28 have medium intensity runway lights that are controlled by CTAF. From sunset to sunrise, the lights are preset to low intensity. Use CTAF if you need to raise them.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the non-towered pattern, the published ILS to 03 and the lighting system if you are arriving after dark. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or local operating notes before you go.
