Viroqua Muni sits in Viroqua, Wisconsin at 1,292 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 11/29 at 4,000 ft asphalt. Runway 02/20 is 2,424 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston ops unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Viroqua Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL. 24-hour fuel is available with credit card.
A few runway notes matter here. Runway 02/20 is closed from November 15 through April 15. It also has a sharp 20-foot drop-off at each end. It slopes downhill to the north about 1.5 percent. Runway 02 and runway 20 are marked with yellow cones. Runway 11 has a 6-foot sign 50 feet from the threshold, 160 feet left of centerline. The PAPI on runway 29 is unusable beyond 5 degrees left of centerline. Runway 11/29 has medium intensity lights that sit at low preset from sunset to sunrise. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and to turn on the runway end identifier lights.
For a first-time arrival, the main things are the turf closure dates, the runway slope and the lighting setup on 11/29. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updates before you go.
