|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dane County Regional Truax Field (regional) | MSN | 9 km (6 mi) | 9,006 ft | 887 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,006 ft, MSN handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 887 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
