Pinckneyville/Du Quoin Airport (KPJY) sits in Pinckneyville, Illinois. Field elevation is 400.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 18/36, at 3,999 ft. It is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 400 ft AGL for ultralights. It is 800 feet AGL for all other aircraft. That puts the standard pattern at 800.4 ft MSL for most traffic. Runway 18/36 has runway end identifier lights. The medium intensity lights are preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and activate them.
Sparta Aero Service is on the field. It carries 100LL. Fuel is self-service with credit card. Ultralight operations occur on and near the airport. Ultralight takeoffs and landings use the grass on the west side of the runway. Wildlife is also reported on and in the vicinity of the airport, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. If you need clearance delivery, contact Kansas City ARTCC. Runway 18 also has a published PAPI note. It is unusable beyond 8 degrees right of centerline. For a first-time arrival, plan for a quiet non-towered pattern. Verify lighting before night ops. Expect mixed traffic with ultralights.
