Tinley Park Helistop is in Chicago/Tinley Park, Illinois. The field elevation is 760 ft MSL. This is a heliport with no runways listed, so the longest runway does not apply here. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern reference for light piston traffic only if it fits the operation. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
The published remarks matter here. Clearance delivery goes through Chicago Approach at 847-289-0926. The pad area has several close-in obstacles. These include unlit power lines south of the pad, a building northwest of it, lighted poles to the west and a lighted tower northwest of the pad. Trees east of the FATO also reduce clearance on that side. Ingress and egress routes are 090 degrees and 270 degrees. There is also a 60-foot by 60-foot helicopter parking pad 75 feet north of the landing pad.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current support details before arrival. This is a low-altitude, obstacle-sensitive stop, so brief the approach path carefully and keep the published routes in mind.
