Quad Cities Intl is in Moline, Illinois. The field elevation is 589.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 10,002 ft on 09/27. The airport is towered. Tower hours are 0530-2230. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 09 and 27.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits in a busy metro area, so expect normal tower coordination and pay attention to traffic flow near the Class D environment. Birds and migratory fowl are reported on and near the airport. That matters on departure and arrival.
QCIA Airport Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Elliott Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. A 24-hour self-serve 100LL pump is in the T-hangar area. When the tower is closed, lighting can be activated and brightened by using CTAF. That includes runway and taxiway lights. MALSR on 09 and 27 can also be activated that way. REIL on 13 and 31 is handled the same way. Runway 31 has a published power pole obstruction note near the departure path. Check the current Chart Supplement if you plan a departure from that end.
