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.

Regional Aviation Context

Wisconsin's GA airports support the state's manufacturing economy and seasonal tourism. Lake Michigan influence creates weather variability, and winter operations require de-icing capability.

Operational Considerations

Bloyer Field's 966-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 2,766 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 3,900-foot runway provides approximately 3,787 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Bloyer Field's temperate latitude produces generally favorable flying conditions with seasonal variation. Winter brings frontal passages that can drop ceilings to IFR minimums for 24-48 hour periods. Freezing precipitation is possible but less persistent than at higher latitudes. Summer convective activity peaks in late afternoon — morning departures typically encounter smoother, clearer conditions. Year-round instrument currency is recommended for reliable scheduling.

Two runways at Bloyer Field provide crosswind flexibility. When the primary runway's crosswind component exceeds aircraft limitations, the secondary runway typically offers a more favorable alignment. Runway selection should account for wind, obstacle clearance, and any published procedures.
