About Central Wisconsin Airport
Overview
Central Wisconsin Airport serves the Mosinee area as a medium-sized airport located in central Wisconsin. Situated at an elevation of 1277 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with two substantial concrete runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 68.3% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring 17.4% of observations. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -31°C to 29°C, with an average temperature of 0.9°C. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at an average of 7.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots and calm conditions 10.4% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two intersecting runways: 08/26 at 7645 feet and 17/35 at 6501 feet, both constructed of concrete. Average visibility is excellent at 9 statute miles, with limited periods of reduced visibility (below 3SM occurring only 3.4% of the time). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with consistent average crosswinds of 5.1 knots.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and November represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. The consistent wind patterns and long runways provide flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate potential fog conditions, which occur in 3.1% of observations, and prepare accordingly with appropriate instrument capabilities.
