Private Aviation Briefing
KY72 is the identifier for Bloyer Field, serving Tomah at 966 ft MSL elevation. Operators, passengers, and dispatchers should note the following details for flight planning and charter operations.
U.S. General Aviation Context
Bloyer Field is part of the U.S. National Airspace System, regulated by the FAA. As a WI facility, the airport contributes to the regional transportation network connecting Tomah to the broader aviation system. FAA Part 135 charter operators serve this airport, and The Jet Finder can source aircraft positioned near KY72 for on-demand charter.
Runway Capability
At 3900 feet, Bloyer Field serves light jets and turboprops. The Citation CJ series, Phenom 100, HondaJet, and King Air family operate within this runway capability. Midsize jets require careful performance analysis based on temperature and aircraft weight. Pilots should reference aircraft-specific takeoff and landing distance charts for KY72's runway length and 966 ft MSL elevation.
Charter Considerations
Peak travel periods affect aircraft availability and pricing near Tomah. Holiday weekends, major events, and seasonal migration patterns drive demand. Booking 7 to 14 days ahead of peak periods secures better aircraft selection and pricing from KY72. Last-minute charter is possible but typically costs 15 to 30% more due to limited positioning options.
What to Know Before You Fly
Weather at Bloyer Field affects scheduling reliability. IFR-equipped aircraft and instrument-rated crews fly in most weather conditions, but low ceilings, thunderstorms, and winter ice can delay departures. Flexible scheduling improves reliability. Morning departures generally encounter better weather than afternoon flights, particularly during convective season.
Safety & Planning
Instrument approach availability at Bloyer Field determines minimum weather for arrival. Airports with ILS approaches allow lower minimums than GPS-only fields. If KY72 has limited approach options, weather alternate planning becomes critical. The Jet Finder identifies suitable alternate airports and factors this into flight planning for charter from Bloyer Field.
Airport Selection Strategy
Choosing Bloyer Field over a larger commercial hub near Tomah often reduces total travel time. General aviation airports like KY72 eliminate terminal congestion, commercial airline scheduling, and the 90-minute early arrival buffer. The net time savings on a typical trip can exceed three hours each direction.
Seasonal Factors
Seasonal demand patterns affect charter availability and pricing from Bloyer Field. Holiday periods (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break) see 40 to 60% price increases due to demand spikes. Summer leisure travel and winter ski season create directional imbalances that generate empty leg opportunities. Planning around these patterns saves significantly on charter from KY72.
Location & Address
Bloyer Field is positioned at coordinates 43.9750° N, -90.4835° W, at 966 feet above mean sea level. Ground transportation from KY72 to Tomah proper is typically a short drive. Private aviation eliminates the hours that commercial airport processing adds to your trip.
Runways & Facilities
Bloyer Field's 3,900-foot runway accommodates turboprops, very light jets, and most light jet categories (Citation CJ series, Phenom 100/300, Premier I). Some midsize jets can operate under light-load conditions. Pilots should calculate performance based on temperature, elevation, and aircraft weight.
FBOs & Ground Services
FBO services at KY72 cover the standard general aviation needs: fuel, parking, and ground handling. Service levels vary by facility size and staffing. Pilots and passengers should coordinate arrival requirements in advance, particularly for after-hours operations at Bloyer Field.
