Mount Sterling Muni sits in Mount Sterling, Illinois. The field elevation is 733.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 5,905 ft of asphalt, so it gives light aircraft plenty of room and gives turboprops a workable strip when conditions are normal. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lights are medium intensity on 18/36. The PAPI on both ends is controlled on CTAF, so monitor the field frequency if you need glidepath guidance.
Mount Sterling Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve 100LL is available to the public. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City Center at 913-254-8508. First-time arrivals should plan for non-towered operations and verify any current local procedures before taxi. The airport sits in central Illinois, so weather and visibility can change fast with seasonal fronts. Check the current Chart Supplement for anything affecting pattern work or local operating notes before you go.
