Chippewa Valley Rgnl sits in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 913.1 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 8,101 ft on 04/22. Runway 14/32 is 5,000 ft. The field is towered. Tower hours are 0530-2030. When the tower is closed, airport conditions are unmonitored from 2200 to 0500. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures say otherwise.
Runway 22 has the published ILS. That makes it the main instrument option to brief before arrival. The airport also has a busy lighting setup after hours. When the tower is closed, runway 04/22 lights come up at low intensity by default. Pilots can use CTAF to increase intensity and activate the approach lighting system and other runway lighting features. PAPI is published on runways 04 and 22 as a 24-hour aid. The published remarks also note a road near the runway 04 end. Treat the displaced threshold and departure path there with care.
Ascension FBO is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. All general aviation aircraft park at the FBO. For larger unscheduled operations, prior permission is required. If you need clearance delivery and cannot raise flight service, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or operational changes before you go.
