Rantoul Ntl Avn Cntr-Frank Elliott Fld is in Rantoul, Illinois. The field elevation is 737.9 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 09/27 at 5,001 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. Approach and departure service is listed on 121.35 and 285.65 through Champaign. The on-field FBO is Rantoul National Aviation Center. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The FBO is open Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1600. Weekend service is closed unless you arrange it ahead of time. For after-hours fuel, use the phone number posted on site.
A few operational items matter here. Runway lights and runway end identifier lights on 09/27 can be turned up with the CTAF. The PAPI on 09 and 27 runs continuously. Clearance delivery goes through Champaign Approach when it is open. When it is closed, use Chicago ARTCC. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. Seasonal mowing can also affect areas next to the runways and taxiways. Taxiways are 35 feet wide in most places. Aircraft with a single wheel load over 15,000 pounds need 48 hours prior permission.
