Vandalia Muni sits in Vandalia, Illinois. Field elevation is 537.2 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 3,751 ft on runway 18/36. This is a non-towered field, so use CTAF 122.8 for traffic, weather advisory and runway lighting control. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless current procedures say otherwise. The airport has one on-field FBO, Vandalia Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is self-serve with credit card. The published remarks also note REIL lighting on runways 18, 27 and 36. Runway 18 has PAPI. Runway 09/27 has medium intensity runway lights on CTAF. Runway 18/36 medium intensity lights are preset to low intensity. Use CTAF if you need to increase intensity.
First-time pilots should pay attention to the published obstruction notes. There are 8-foot crops about 200 ft from the runway end that affect runway 27. The approach slope is also noted for runway 36 to the relocated threshold. Clearance delivery is handled through Kansas City ARTCC by phone. At this field, a current chart check matters more than assumptions. Verify the latest Chart Supplement before you go.
