Appleton Intl sits in Appleton, Wisconsin at 918 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is 8,003 ft on 03/21. The other runway is 12/30 at 6,502 ft. The field is towered from 0530 to 2300. When the tower is closed, use CTAF 119.6 for traffic and for runway light control. ILS approaches are published for runway ends 03 and 30. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Appleton Flight Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you need fuel or ramp details, call them at (920) 738-3034 before you go. The airport also has CBP prior permission required service Monday through Friday from 1300 to 2100Z. The published remarks also note birds and migratory waterfowl in the area. Winter snow removal is active. Expect ground activity on the common traffic advisory frequency when the tower is closed.
For a first-time arrival, pay attention to the lighting setup after hours. CTAF controls the high intensity lights and the approach lighting system. The airport sits in a busy commercial environment. Expect normal tower sequencing during the day and verify any current procedures in the FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
