Boscobel Airport sits in Boscobel, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 672.6 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,000 ft on runway 07/25. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Boscobel Airport carries AVGAS 100LL through the on-field FBO, Boscobel Airport. 100LL is available 24 hours by self-service with credit card. The field was established before 1959. Runway 07 and 25 have runway end identifier lights. PAPI is available on 07 and 25. MSL runway lights are available on 02/20 and 07/25. For 07/25, the lights start at low intensity and are increased on CTAF.
This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 30 degrees Celsius. For clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC. The airport is straightforward for local VFR work. Still, verify current runway lighting, cold weather performance and any other operational notes in the current Chart Supplement before you go.
