RWY 03

Fort Atkinson Muni sits in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 800.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 3,800 ft asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. Madison Approach and Departure use 120.1 and 350.3 for the area.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the Chart Supplement, so light piston traffic should use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless local instructions say otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,800 ft MSL. The published remarks matter here. Runway lights on 03/21 are preset low from sunset to sunrise. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the PAPI on 03 and 21. There is also 24-hour self-serve 100LL with credit card.

First-time arrivals should pay attention to the runway-end brush. There is brush near both thresholds on 03/21. Ultralight activity also occurs on and near the airport. For runway 03/21, pilots are asked to fly runway heading and climb to 1,400 ft MSL before turning east. If you need a clearance, contact Madison Approach/Departure Control. If they are closed, use Chicago ARTCC. No on-field FBOs are listed.
