Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport sits in Springfield, Illinois. The field elevation is 597.9 ft MSL. It has 2 runways. The longest is 8,001 ft on runway 04/22. Runway 13/31 is 7,399 ft. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 2200. When the tower is closed, use CTAF 121.3 and follow the published lighting procedures for the runway you plan to use. Three ILS approaches are published for runway ends 04, 22 and 31.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport has one on-field FBO, Stellar Aviation of Springfield. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours. General aviation access to the aircraft ramp is prohibited. Parking on the ramp is also prohibited, so plan your ground handling before arrival.
First-time pilots should pay attention to the tower hours. The ramp restriction matters here. The lighting setup after hours is also worth a close look. There is a published note that taxiways Y1, Y2 and the segment of Y between Y1 and A are not available for air carrier operations with more than 9 passenger seats. If you are operating unscheduled and need ARFF coverage, call ahead. Weather service is available 24 hours a day. For clearance delivery help if FSS is not reachable, contact St Louis Approach.
