Waukegan NTL Airport sits in Chicago/Waukegan, Illinois. Field elevation is 728.1 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 6,001 ft. The field is towered from 0600 to 2000. One ILS is published for runway 23. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the standard pattern at 1,728.1 ft MSL.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is also available 24 hours from the self-serve pump on the transient ramp. The tower controls the runway lighting on 23. It also controls the REIL on 05. High intensity lights are on 05 and 23. Medium intensity lights are on 14 and 32. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. When the tower is closed, use CTAF to increase intensity and activate lighting.
First-time arrivals should pay attention to birds in and around the airport. Runway 14 also has a published displaced-threshold obstacle note, so review the current Chart Supplement before planning that end. Customs is available with advance notice only. Call ahead if you need it. For clearance delivery after tower hours, Chicago Approach handles it.
