KILG is New Castle Airport in Wilmington, Delaware. Field elevation is 79.9 ft MSL. The airport has three asphalt runways. The longest is 09/27 at 7,275 ft. Tower service runs from 0630 to 2300. One ILS approach is published for runway 01. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a busy Delaware field with multiple paved runways. The layout gives you options for wind and traffic flow. Fly the published runway headings as magnetic. The field also has bird activity noted in the remarks. That matters here, especially during the listed BASH periods in spring and fall. If you are operating a larger aircraft, note the taxilane wingspan limits on taxilane G. Runway 14/32 also has a landing fee for aircraft over 7,500 lb except federal government and military aircraft. When the tower is closed, use CTAF for airport traffic. For emergencies after hours, the published remarks direct pilots to announce on CTAF to the aircraft rescue and fire fighting station. On the field, flyADVANCED carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Atlantic Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A.
