Mount Vernon Airport sits in Mount Vernon, Illinois. Field elevation is 480.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 05/23 at 6,496 ft. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. Runway 23 has an ILS approach. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
SRT Flightline is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. For after-hours service, the published remarks give a phone number to call. The remarks also note migratory waterfowl in the area, so expect bird activity on arrival and departure. Runway 23 has MALSR lighting available during daylight hours. Clearance delivery is handled through Kansas City ARTCC by phone, which is useful to know if you need IFR services before departure.
There are a few runway-specific items to brief before you go. Runway 05 has published obstacle notes near the approach end. Runway 15/33 and 05/23 both have restrictions for certain large passenger operations. If you are planning anything outside normal GA use, call the airport manager first. The field is in a part of Illinois where weather and bird activity can change the picture quickly. A current check of runway condition, winds and the latest Chart Supplement is smart before launch.
