Ingersoll Airport (Canton) is an airport with the ICAO code KCTK. Country: United States. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Canton. OurAirports classifies it as a small airport. Its ICAO code starts with the KC prefix, which marks airports in United States. No IATA code is assigned, which is typical for airports without scheduled traffic. The airport reference point sits at 40°34'09"N, 90°04'29"W, at an elevation of 684 ft (208 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is America/Chicago.

The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Ingersoll Airport (Canton) has 2 runways: 09/27 - 1,004 m long (3,294 ft), 18 m wide, asphalt surface; 18/36 - 1,188 m long (3,899 ft), 23 m wide, asphalt surface.
The longest of them is 18/36, at 1,188 m.
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 09/27 on 90° and 270° magnetic, 18/36 on 180° and 360° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 09/27 axis, wind from the south (around 180°) or from the north (around 360°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 90° or 270° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
Weather reports for Ingersoll Airport (Canton) are published under the ICAO code KCTK. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the KCTK report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for KCTK, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/Chicago zone is GMT-06:00 in winter and GMT-05:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport (KPIA, 34 km), Macomb Municipal Airport (KMQB, 49 km), Galesburg Municipal Airport (KGBG, 51 km). When no report is available for KCTK, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
