Albertus Airport is in Freeport, Illinois. The field elevation is 859 ft MSL. KFEP has three runways. The longest is 06/24 at 5,504 ft, with turf runways 18/36 at 2,404 ft and 13/31 at 2,285 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic calls. The airport has one ILS approach to runway 24. Pattern altitude is 400 ft AGL for ultralights. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL for piston aircraft, which puts the piston pattern at 1,659 ft MSL.
Freeport Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is also available 24 hours by self-service. Runway 06/24 has medium intensity lights. They are preset low from sunset to sunrise. Use CTAF to raise intensity and to activate the MALSR for runway 24. PAPI is available on runways 06 and 24 and it runs continuously. Runway 18/36 and 13/31 have in-ground concrete touchdown zone markers.
This is a non-towered field with published Rockford approach and departure frequencies. For clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC. The airport sits in a relatively flat part of northwest Illinois. The main planning items are runway selection, traffic calls and the lighting setup on 06/24. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
