Common Complaints

Limited Recent Reviews: While existing reviews are positive, the most detailed ones are several years old, making it challenging to gauge very recent sentiment comprehensively.
Taxiway Signage (Older Review): One older review mentioned that while the runways were clear, determining taxiways required using a safe taxi map, suggesting potential minor signage clarity issues for some.
Frozen Tie-Downs (Winter): A recent experience in February 2025 noted that tie-downs were frozen with ice, which could be an inconvenience during colder months.

Overall, Fond du Lac County Airport (KFLD) appears to be a well-maintained and welcoming general aviation airport, particularly appreciated for its modern FBO facilities and excellent customer service. It serves as a practical and pleasant stop for pilots in the region.
