RWY 27

GILBERT FLD is in Rio, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 927 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, which is 1,800 ft long and turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. With a 927 ft field elevation, that is 1,927 ft MSL for a normal light-piston pattern. The airport sits in a rural area with wildlife reported on and near the field. Runway 09/27 also has a steep drop off at the runway edge. The approach end of runway 09 has a steep drop off too.

Published remarks also show displaced thresholds on both ends. Runway 09 has yellow cones. Runway 27 has yellow cones too. Orange cones mark the displaced thresholds. The approach to runway 09 has tree clearance issues near the threshold. The approach to runway 27 has a hangar close to the displaced threshold. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so call the airport manager or the airport operator before arrival if you need local field conditions. For winter operations, confirm runway condition and snow removal before you go. Clearance delivery is handled through Madison Approach or Chicago ARTCC when needed.
