Battle Creek, MI - KBTL

Airport last visited August 23, 2022

Pattern/Approach

Great Lakes Approach will provide vectors to the current active runway, with tower/ground providing progressive taxi instructions. We used runway 5L for landing, and runway 23L for departure the next day.

Parking and Fueling

Overnight parking is $10 with the Centennial/WACO FBO, no other ramp fees. Self service fuel was decently priced, with the FBO ramp folks helping with parking and refueling.

Transportion

The Centennial/WACO FBO provided a free loaner pickup for our overnight stay.

Dining

We relaxed with a light meal at a local Panera Bakery. Lots of local eateries were in the area.

Lodging

The Centennial/WACO FBO provided a great FBO rate at the new Home2 Hilton.

To-Do

The WACO factory is adjacent to the Centennial/WACO FBO, where we toured the impressive build facility, and checked out a WACO YMF-5 on amphibious floats that I had previously flown in Kauai.
