DuPage Airport sits in Chicago and West Chicago, Illinois. Field elevation is 758.5 ft MSL. The airport has 4 runways. The longest is 7,571 ft on 02L/20R. DuPage has a control tower that operates 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 02L and 10. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
DuPage Flight Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL self-serve is available 24 hours with credit card. That makes fuel planning simple for late arrivals. The airport also has published notes that matter on a first visit. The visual glide slope indicator is unusable more than 5 degrees left or right of centerline. There are deer, coyotes, birds and migratory waterfowl in the area. Aircraft on short final to runway 15 are not visible from the tower because of trees. Runway 20R at taxiway G has an intersection departure length of 6,141 ft. Check the current Chart Supplement for any customs or ARFF prior permission details before you go. This is a busy controlled field near Chicago. Expect close attention to taxi, runway selection and tower instructions.
