I. Distribution of Illinois Public Use Airports
These maps show all public use airports in the State of Illinois and
change as new airports open, existing ones close, or as they change
ownership/function. All airports must be certified by the Illinois
Department of Transportation - Aeronautics.
The Illinois Airport Location Map shows all airports in the State of
Illinois which are public use. They are also identified according to three
airport categories: Primary, Reliever, and General Aviation.
Public Use Airports in Northeastern Illinois and Public Use Airports in
Southwestern Illinois are enlargements of the Chicago area and the St.
Louis Metro East area. The length of the longest runway is indicated.

II. Airport Activity
This section contains a series of tables which displays enplanements, based
aircraft, and aircraft operations. 1 is a summary of the current activity for
each airport, while 2, 3, and 4 illustrate these activities in more detail.
Based aircraft in 3 consist of single engine, multi-engine, jet aircraft,
helicopters, and military aircraft from IDOT survey of 5010s. Annual operations
numbers are from FAA Air Traffic Control Tower counts or Airport 5010’s.
2 is a historical account of air passenger enplanements (boardings) since
2007 (15 years). Specifically, these are revenue passengers boarding air carriers,
commuters, charters, and air taxis at all Illinois Communities having scheduled
service. This data came from the FAA Historical Enplanement Data.
Current based general aviation aircraft is reported in 3 by aircraft type.
Aircraft type includes single and multi-engine prop, jet, rotorcraft, and military.
Cargo weight landed in pounds is shown in 4 for ORD, RFD, & PIA. This
information is from the FAA and is self reported from the airports.
5 shows the ownership structures of Illinois Publicly owned airports.
6 shows the current airports with Air Traffic Control Towers.
Operation counts in 1 comes from the FAA 5010 Data sheets. The
Department is seeking to conduct an Aircraft Operations Study at selected non-
towered airports at each airport once every three years if sufficient FAA
Discretionary System Planning Funding can be obtained for this effort.

IV. Physical Characteristics
10 summarizes the runway characteristics at the 77 publicly owned
airports in Illinois. A description of each item is as follows.
• Airport Name – Official name of the airport
• Runway – This is the runway headings
• Total Paved Length/Total Turf Length – This is total runway length. Runways
having grooved or friction treated surfaces are shown with either a “G” or
“F”
• Runway Width – This is the physical width of the runway
• Runway Lights – Categorized by the degree of light intensity. Generally High
Intensity Runway Lights (HIRL) are required on runways having an
Instrument Landing System (ILS), Medium Intensity Runway Lights (MIRL)
are required on runways having an instrument procedure which is less than
a full ILS, and Low Intensity Runway Lights (LIRL) are to be used on runways
having no planned approach. Centerline lights are indicated by a “CL”
following the runway lighting type.
• Electronic and Visual Landing Aids – All electronic and visual aids to landing
are included here separately for each approach end. If an approach end has
a full ILS, then the individual components are not listed, except that the
specific type of Approach Light System (ALS) is shown in parenthesis. If an
approach end does not have a full ILS, then any ILS components present are
listed. In addition, any aids not normally associated with an ILS are
identified. These include DME, NDB, REIL, VASI and VOR. If no aids are
present, the approach end is shown as Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
• ILS- Provides an approach path for exact alignment and descent of an
aircraft on final approach to a runway. Categories are I, II, and III with
category III being the more precise. All ILS systems identified in this report
are Category I unless otherwise noted. An ILS consists of the following
electronic components and visual aids:
36
LOC/Localizer – The component of the ILS which provides horizontal
guidance to the runway. When used on the reverse side for the
opposite runway end it is known as a Localizer Back Course (LOC-BC)
Gs/Glide Slope – Electronic components which provide vertical
guidance to the runway
OM/Outer Marker – A marker beacon at or near the glide slope
intercept altitude of an ILS approach
MM/Middle Marker – A marker beacon that defines a point along the
glide slope of an ILS normally located at or near the point of decision
height
ALS/Approach Light System – An airport lighting facility which
provides visual guidance to landing aircraft by radiating light beams
in a directional pattern by which the pilot aligns the aircraft with the
extended centerline of the runway on the final approach for landing.
Types of ALS are:
ALSF-I – High Intensity Approach Light System with Sequenced
Flashing Lights, CAT-I configuration
ALSF-II – High Intensity Approach Light System with Sequenced
Flashing Lights, CAT-II configuration
SSALF – Simplified Short Approach Light System
SSALR – Simplified Short Approach Light System with Runway
Alignment Indicator Lights
MALSF – Medium Intensity Approach Light System with
Sequenced Flashing Lights
37
MALSR – Medium Intensity Approach Light System with
Runway Alignment Indicator Lights
LDIN – Lead-In Lighting System
ODALS – Omnidirectional Approach Lighting System
RAIL – Runway Alignment Indicator Lights
DME/Distance Measuring Equipment – Equipment (airborne and ground)
used to measure, in nautical miles, the slant range distance of an aircraft
from the DME Navigation Aid
NDB/Nondirectional Beacon – An L/MF or UHF radio beacon transmitting
non-directional signals whereby the pilot of an aircraft equipped with
direction finding equipment can determine their bearings to or from the
radio beacon and “home” on or track to or from the station. When the
radio beacon is installed in conjunction with the ILS marker, it is normally
called a Compass Locator
PAPI/Precision Approach Path Indicator
PLASI/Pulse Light Approach Slope Indicator
VADI/Visual Approach Descent Indicator – Types of light units which
provides pilots with precise visual glide slope guidance during an approach
for landing
REIL/Runway End Identifier Lights – Two synchronized flashing lights, one
on each side of the runway threshold, which provides rapid and positive
identification of the approach end of a particular runway
VASI/Visual Approach Slope Indicator – An airport lighting facility providing
vertical visual approach slope guidance to aircraft during approach to
landing by radiating a directional pattern of high intensity red and white
focused light beams
38
VOR/Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range Station – A ground based
electronic navigation air transmitting very high frequency navigation
signals, 360 degrees in azimuth, oriented from magnetic north. Used as the
basis for navigation in the national airspace system

V. Airport Pavement Management System (APMS)
The Airport Pavement Management System (APMS) procedure was
developed at the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory in
Champaign, Illinois. The Department of Transportation instituted this
procedure in 1980. The Department of Transportation performs the survey
at each public use airport on a three-year cycle through a consultant
contract.
Each runway, taxiway, and apron is divided into pavement sections
possessing of consistent thickness and materials, and having been
constructed at the same time. A sample survey is then performed for each
section, the number of samples being dependent upon the variation of the
distresses over the extent of the section. The actual survey measures the
quantity and severity of each distress type and these measurements are
then passed through a computer program, which determines the Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) based upon these measurements and the distress
type. The PCI scores are values ranging from 0-100. The results of the most
recent surveys are presented in 12. These results are shown as line
items for each runway but are aggregated for all taxiways and all aprons.
The values shown are the percent’s that each line item is of the individual
PCI Scoring Groups.
Below is the link to website for the PCI Program.

VI. Surface Weather Observation Stations (ASOS/AWOS)
A surface weather observation station – ASOS/AWOS provides continuous
real-time weather reports by gathering, analyzing and disseminating
information from strategically located sensors, twenty-four hours a day. A
complete new weather report is generated each minute and is available for
flight planning via direct-dial telephone or enroute by accessing the
broadcast frequency.
In Illinois, there are three types of surface weather observation
Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS III)
Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS)
Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS AV)
AWOS-III provides measurements of temperature, dew point, wind speed
and direction, altimeter setting, density altitude, visibility, precipitation,
and cloud height and cover.
AWOS-AV provides wind speed, wind direction, temperature/relative
humidity, pressure and visibility.
ASOS provides all the measurements contained in the AWOS-III plus the
type of precipitation and the type of cloud cover such as fog or haze.
The Surface Weather Observation Stations in Illinois Map shows locations
of all AWOS-III, ASOS, and AWOS AV units currently on-line. 13 is a
listing of all on-line stations and indicated the type of system, the
telephone number, and the broadcast frequency.
