Comments
Pluses and quirks of KRPJ
Fun airport to fly into, runways and taxiways in good shape. Easy to see. Excellent restaurant w/ friendly staff, a sand volleyball court, and some good "mocktails" for the pilot; can be busy on weekends. Easy-to-use fuel. Be advised that the "intensive parachute activity" warning on the sectional is not idle prose, on a good (i.e. calm enough) day for jumping, esp. in summer, there can be near non-stop Caravans full of jumpers landing and departing, with chutists twirling around the sky. The sectional says to contact KRFD 121.0 for parachute activity advisory, but sometimes there is no NOTAM, and RFD might well tell you to just listen to the Rochelle CTAF. The jump school is pretty good about announcing on the CTAF what they are doing, but they don't always say what pattern they're using. They will say to not overfly the field, so plan a route where you can enter the downwind direct or you will have to give the airfield a wide berth for your teardrop. The jumpers land on the grass between the east end of the runway and the buildings east of the hangars, so if they are descending where they are supposed to, and you have a left pattern to 07, there should be no conflict. Caution is still indicated. A left pattern to 25 requires a little more caution, because you are circling the drop zone, and a straight-in or right pattern might be warranted. • Also be aware that the taxiways do not extend the length of the field; there are 2 intersections near midfield, so a takeoff will either be "short" or require back-taxi, and the latter might require expediting to avoid delaying the drop plane. The length from the intersections is about 3000', plenty for most GA craft.
