Rusk County Airport sits in Ladysmith, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 1,239.6 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,001 ft on runway 14/32. There is no control tower, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 2,240 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The on-field FBO is Rusk County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card.
Runway 14/32 has medium intensity lights that come up low from sunset to sunrise. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and turn on the runway end identifier lights. Precision approach path indicators are available for 14 and 32. Runway 01/19 also has medium intensity lighting controlled by CTAF. Deer are reported in the area. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC handles it by phone. If you need current procedures or any local restrictions, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly.
