Macomb Muni sits in Macomb, Illinois. The field elevation is 705.7 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 09/27 at 5,100 ft on asphalt. Runway 18/36 is turf at 3,719 ft. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
There is one ILS approach to runway 27. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston ops unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Jet Air, Inc. is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. Call (309) 833-3324 for current service details.
A few published remarks matter for planning. The PAPI on runway 09 is unusable more than 8 degrees right of centerline. Runway 18/36 is seasonal. It is closed from November 1 to May 1. The turf width is 200 feet south of the intersection with runway 09/27. Runway 09/27 has high intensity lights preset to low. Use CTAF to raise intensity and bring on runway end identifier lights and taxiway lights. This is a non-towered field, so standard self-announce discipline matters. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current restrictions before you go.
