Joliet Regional Airport sits in Joliet, Illinois. Field elevation is 582.3 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 13/31 at 2,821 ft. It is a non-towered field, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.7. Watch the pattern closely.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Joliet Regional Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and mogas. Call (815) 741-7267 before arrival if you need current ramp or fuel availability.
