Fairfield Muni is in Fairfield, Illinois. The field elevation is 434.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,000 ft on 09/27. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered traffic procedures on CTAF 123.05. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The airport sits in open southern Illinois terrain, so runway alignment and wind matter more than elevation. Runway 18 and Runway 36 both have faded markings. The PAPI on 09 and 27 is only usable within 6 degrees left or right of centerline. The 18/36 runway lights are preset to low intensity. Use 123.05 to increase intensity for 09/27 lighting.
Fairfield Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (618) 842-9587 for current service details or after-hours help. One operational note stands out. The approach slope for Runway 18/36 is 23 to 1 to the Runway 36 end. That is worth checking before you plan a low approach or short final on that side.
