Online Reviews Summary

Fort Atkinson Municipal Airport (K61C) appears to be a functional, albeit unattended, general aviation facility primarily serving local pilots and ultralight activity. Recent information, including a minor incident in March 2025, suggests ongoing operations without widespread negative sentiment, though detailed traveler reviews are scarce. The airport is publicly owned and managed by the City of Fort Atkinson.

What Travelers Love

Self-Service Fuel: Both 100LL and Jet A fuel are available 24 hours a day via self-service with a credit card.
Pilot-Activated Lighting: Runway lights (MIRL) and PAPI for runways 03 and 21 can be activated by pilots via the CTAF.
Active Pilot Community: There is an active Pilot Association that meets weekly, indicating a local flying community.
No Tie-Down Fees: The airport does not charge for aircraft tie-downs.

Common Complaints

Unattended Facility: The airport is listed as unattended, meaning there are no on-site staff for assistance or services.
Limited Amenities/FBO Services: There are no businesses or FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators) explicitly listed as operating directly at the airport, which could mean limited facilities beyond basic airport infrastructure.
Historical Fuel Access Issue: A review from 2015 questioned whether membership in an association was still required for a key to the fuel pumps, though current information indicates self-service credit card access.
Runway Obstructions: There are mentions of 10 ft brush obstructions near the runway thresholds.
Lack of Public Transportation/Rental Cars: While AOPA offers discounts for members on hotels and rental cars, there is no direct indication of on-site rental car services or public transportation connections at the airport itself.

Fort Atkinson Municipal Airport (K61C) serves as a straightforward general aviation airport, appreciated by pilots for its self-service fuel and pilot-activated lighting. However, its unattended status and lack of comprehensive FBO services mean pilots should be self-sufficient for their needs.
