Waukesha County Airport is in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 911.5 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 10/28 at 5,849 ft. Runway 18/36 is 3,599 ft. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 2100. One ILS is published for runway 10.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the standard pattern at about 1,912 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway headings are magnetic. The field has a small magnetic variation of 1°.
Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Stein's Aircraft Services is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. If you need oxygen, call Atlantic Aviation first. The Chart Supplement also notes that Milwaukee clearance delivery on 128.7 is used only when Waukesha tower is closed.
There are a few operational details worth having in mind before arrival. Runway 10 uses the common traffic advisory frequency to raise lighting intensity and to activate the medium intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights. Runway 28 has runway end identifier lights. Runway 18/36 uses medium intensity runway lights. Coyotes are reported on and near the airport. North ramp lights are out of service. This is a controlled airport near the Milwaukee area. Get the current ATIS. Expect normal tower procedures. Verify any runway lighting or ramp issues before you taxi.
