Terminals in Illinois???

[sb1980]

Hi everyone! I am attending the Chicago PEPC in the near future, and have been informed that I am being considered for a terminal position in Illinois. Would anyone shed some light on what terminals are in Illinois so I have an idea on where I may be going? Or if there are several, please direct me to where I can find the information.

I have a spreadsheet that lists all the centers and their levels, however I do not know the meaning of the acronyms "ARTCC, TRACON, ETC." Which of those are terminal, and which are En Route?

Thanks so much for the help!

ARTCC = Air Route Traffic Control Center (enroute)
TRACON = Terminal Radar Approach Control (terminal)
Tower = Tower (terminal)
up/down = combined Tower/TRACON (terminal)

Terminal facilities in Illinois...

TRACON
C90

Tower
ARR, CPS, DPA, MDW, ORD, PWK

Up/Down
CMI, MLI, PIA, RFD, SPI

If I missed any or if there's an error, I'm sure someone will correct me

You might be able to get ORD tower. They are building a new tower that opens in NOV. for RWY 9L and 9R. ARR, DPA and RFD tower are very friendly people. ARR, DPA and RFD tend get a lot of student pilot traffic.

Where would one acquire such information for a different state?

I just go here.. http://nas-architecture.faa.gov/nas/...ced_search.cfm

You have to do some searching and go through each of them because it includes contract towers, military facilities, etc... not just all FAA facilities.

ORD is Chicago O'Hare, so... Chicago or thereabouts?

This one is a lot easier and it only has FAA facilities. Click the type of facility on the left there.

The only reason I don't use that one...


Air Route Traffic Control Centers

Massachusetts

• Boston

Boston ARTCC is actually in New Hampshire... and it bothers me that the website you linked says it's in Massachusetts. I haven't gone through it to see if there are more mistakes, but that's a biggie... and that is the only reason I won't tell people to go to that one

[noeflys84]

They are keeping the large tower and adding a second tower that is located by American airlines maintenance hanger.

That's funny. I never noticed that before

Here's a picture of the second tower. This was taken in Jan.
