Chicago O'Hare Intl sits in Chicago, Illinois. Field elevation is 680 ft MSL. This is a large, busy towered airport with 8 runways. The longest runway is 13,000 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. ILS approaches are available to many runway ends, which helps in the Midwest weather window when ceilings drop.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. For light piston planning, use 1,680 ft MSL as the standard 1,000 ft AGL reference unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is Class B airspace, so expect close ATC coordination and busy traffic flows. Runway status lights are in operation. The field also has simultaneous departure procedures on several runway pairs. Runway assignment can change fast.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. If you are diverting in without a presence at O'Hare, contact airport operations before arrival if practical. The published remarks also note that taxiway YY has a section not visible from the center tower. That is worth keeping in mind during taxi. Some runway-specific limits are published too, including a PAPI restriction on runway 27L and weight or operation notes on a few runways. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
