Waupaca Municipal Airport (ICAO: KPCZ, FAA LID: PCZ) is a city owned public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Waupaca, a city in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, United States.[1] The airport is also known as Brunner Field, which opened in November 1944.[3] It is located adjacent to U.S. Route 10. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2025–2029, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.[4]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned PCZ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[5]
