Illinois Valley Rgnl-Walter A Duncan Fld sits in Peru, Illinois. Field elevation is 654.2 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 5,999 ft. There is no control tower, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 123.0. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if the weather is moving down. Plan for non-precision work or an alternate if ceilings are low. Midwest Avtech is on the field. They carry 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (815) 223-2003 for current services.
A few published remarks matter on arrival. Wires sit near the south end of runway 18. The approach slope there is marked with orange balls. Runway 36 has a 50 to 1 approach clearance note. Runway lighting is available on CTAF. Runway 36 also has an omnidirectional approach lighting system. For clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. If you are new to the field, brief the runway 18 end carefully and plan your lighting call before night ops.
