About this Destination

Schaumburg Regional Airport covers an area of 120 acres (49 ha) at an elevation of 801 feet (244 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 11/29 with a concrete surface measuring 3,800 by 100 feet (1,158 x 30 m).[1]

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, the airport had 36,000 aircraft operations, an average of 98 per day: 99% general aviation and 1% air taxi. At that time there were 97 aircraft based at this airport: 81.4% single-engine, 12.4% multi-engine and 6.2% helicopter

New hangars, consisting of 33 units were completed between 2000 to 2001, as well as the installation of the PAPI. PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) is a system of lights that provide pilots vertical guidance to the runway. This assists the pilot in determining whether they are too high, too low, or right on the glide path.
