Southern Illinois Airport sits in Carbondale and Murphysboro, Illinois. Field elevation is 411.2 ft MSL. The airport has 3 asphalt runways. The longest is 18L/36R at 6,506 ft. The tower is open 0700-2100. One ILS is published for runway 18L. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Flightline is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. If you are planning a stop, that is the confirmed fuel source to call first. The airport sees high student training activity. Birds are also reported on and near the field, so expect extra scan work in the pattern and on departure.
Runway 18L/36R is the main paved runway for longer arrivals. Runway 18R/36L is shorter and has a marked power line near the approach end. Runway 06/24 is available too, but it is restricted to aircraft 12,500 lb or less unless the tower gives prior permission. Runway 06 and 18R/36L intersect, so verify the correct heading before a 06 departure. If you need lighting details after tower hours, check the current Chart Supplement or call the airport operator. The field also has published restrictions for larger scheduled and unscheduled passenger operations.
