Chicago Executive Airport Runway Diagram Print

Chicago Executive has two runways, and on this print they cross in a long, slightly off center X. Runway 16/34 is the longer leg at 5,001 by 150 feet, dropping from the 16 threshold near the top of the sheet down to the 34 marker in the lower middle. Runway 12/30 is the shallower one, 4,415 by 75 feet, entering from the left edge and running out to the 30 end at lower right. Both are asphalt. They meet well below center, which is what gives the composition its weight: the crossing sits low, and the long diagonals carry your eye up and out toward the corners.

The runways print as solid dark bars with the designators set into them, and everything else stays quiet in gray. Taxiway loops fill the left half in rounded rectangles, a row of hangars steps down the far left edge, and a tight comb of tie down rows sits on the right side below the buildings. That contrast is the reason a two runway field like this works as artwork: there is enough structure around the X to hold the frame, but nothing competes with the two lines. Coordinates and the 645 foot field elevation sit under the PWK block at the bottom, so the sheet reads as a document as much as a graphic.

It is plotted from published airport information, which is why the geometry looks a little unruly rather than tidy: the taxiway ramps bulge where the field actually bulges. Scale it up and the tie down grid and hangar footprints stay legible; at smaller sizes the X does the work on its own. In the colorway you choose, the same drawing carries, and it pairs naturally with other fields in the region, Waukegan to the north or Kenosha further up the lake, if you want more than one sheet on the wall.

Chicago/Prospect Heights/Wheeling (PWK) print, common questions

How many runways does Chicago Executive have?

Two. Runway 16/34 measures 5,001 by 150 feet and runway 12/30 measures 4,415 by 75 feet, both asphalt. On the print they cross low and slightly right of center, forming the X you see on the sheet.

What is PWK?

PWK is the three letter identifier for Chicago Executive in Chicago/Prospect Heights/Wheeling, Illinois, and it is the code set in large type at the bottom of the print. The four letter version is KPWK. Runway numbers like 16 and 34 come from magnetic alignment, and the published magnetic variation here is 2W.

Where is the airport and how high is the field?

It sits at 42.1149 degrees north, 87.9020 degrees west, in Illinois, at a field elevation of 645 feet. Those coordinates and the elevation are printed in the caption block beneath the identifier.

How accurate is the layout on this artwork?

It is composed from published runway data for the current charting cycle, so runway lengths, widths and relative positions follow the published diagram. It is artwork rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Painted markings, lighting symbols and signage are examples of what gets left out.

What sizes and finishes can I get?

The PWK drawing is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download. Physical pieces are made to order; the digital option is a file you download. Larger sizes hold the tie down rows and hangar detail; smaller sizes lean on the runway X.

Does this work as a gift?

It lands well for anyone with a specific tie to Chicago Executive: someone who trained there, based an aircraft there, or flew in and out of the Wheeling area often enough for the shape of that crossing to register. It is a field they will recognize from the runway geometry alone, without a caption.
