๐ข Terminal Information
Prairie du Chien Municipal Airport (PCD), also known by its FAA identifier PDC, features a modern passenger terminal building completed in 2017. Located in Crawford County, Wisconsin, the facility serves as a primary general aviation hub for the Upper Mississippi River Valley. The terminal is designed for maximum accessibility, offering 24-hour entry for authorized pilots and passengers via a secure keypad system.
The terminal infrastructure provides a range of high-quality amenities, including a comfortable pilot lounge, a dedicated flight planning area, and a kitchenette equipped with snacks and beverages. Travelers have access to clean, modern restroom facilities and free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building. The facility is typically staffed during standard business hours, providing essential administrative and operational support for regional flight activities.
Technical services at the field include 24-hour self-service fueling for both 100LL and Jet-A via a credit card system. The airport features two asphalt runways, with the primary runway (14/32) measuring 5,000 feet and equipped with pilot-controlled lighting and modern navigational aids. Ground transportation is well-supported by an on-site courtesy 'crew car' for local errands and pre-arranged rental services, providing a quick 5-minute link to the historic Prairie du Chien city center.
๐ Connection Tips
Prairie du Chien Municipal Airport (PCD) serves southwestern Wisconsin and the upper Mississippi River valley. If you are arriving at PCD via private aircraft, ground transport is limited; car rentals (Enterprise) can be delivered to the terminal if pre-arranged. The FBO provides high-quality pilot lounges and 24-hour self-serve fuel.
While it handles occasional charters via Linear Air, it handles NO regular scheduled commercial airline passenger flights. Local taxis must be called from town (approx.2 miles away). Facilities include a small waiting area and free Wi-Fi Local taxis are usually called rather than found, so the transfer is only simple if the driver has already been told the flight time.
For travelers visiting this historic river town, the nearest commercial hub is Dubuque (DBQ) or La Crosse (LSE), both approximately 1 hour away. The facility is exceptionally scenic, located on a plateau above the river Most visitors use DBQ or LSE for commercial travel, but PCD makes sense when you want the river town itself rather than a larger Wisconsin or Iowa hub. A car rental or called taxi should be booked before arrival, because the river valley is not a place for guesswork after the flight time is set well.
