Lewis University Airport sits in Chicago/Romeoville, Illinois. The field elevation is 679 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 6,500 ft on runway 02/20. The airport is towered, with tower hours from 0600 to 2000. Two ILS approaches are published, for runway ends 02 and 09.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Lewis University Airport is in a busy Chicago area flow. Expect close coordination with Chicago Approach. Clearance delivery is handled through Chicago Approach. The published remarks also note birds on and near the airport. Brake action is not reported between 2100 and 0600.
Lewis University Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The north parking ramp is closed to all multi-engine aircraft. Taxiways N1 and N2 are closed to fixed-wing aircraft over 6,000 lb. Runway lights on 02/20 and 09/27 are preset to low intensity. Use CTAF to increase intensity. REILs and PAPI on both runways are also activated by CTAF. If you are planning a first stop here, check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before departure. This field has enough runway for most training and business aircraft, but the taxiway and ramp restrictions matter for larger airplanes.
