Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KVUJ?
Stanly County Airport does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is KEQY, located approximately 33.30 nautical miles away. Crews requiring customs clearance need to route through that facility rather than at KVUJ itself. Dispatchers planning international arrivals should factor this distance into ground transportation or routing decisions. No CANPASS or onsite customs designation applies at this field.
What runways are available at Stanly County Airport?
Stanly County Airport (KVUJ) has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 04R/22L is the longer of the two at 5,499 feet by 100 feet wide. Runway 04L/22R measures 3,501 feet by 75 feet wide. Both runways support the airport's business aviation traffic, with the longer runway suited to larger jet operations given its length and width.
What fuel is available at KVUJ?
Stanly County Airport offers 100LL, A+, and A1+ fuel types. 100LL is available on a self-service basis 24 hours a day using a credit card. Jet fuel availability from the FBO runs during specific hours, with prior permission required outside those windows according to airport remarks. Military fuel (A+) has separate contact and scheduling arrangements distinct from the civilian FBO fuel service. Dispatchers should confirm fuel windows in advance given the restricted hours outside the standard FBO schedule.
Are there any operational hazards to know about at KVUJ?
Stanly County Airport carries several noted hazards in its remarks. Pilots should watch for high-speed, low-level military aircraft in the vicinity, including frequent night military operations and assault operations directed to runway 22R. Heavy parachute jumping activity occurs at the north end of runway 22L / R. Deer and bird hazards are also flagged for the field. A close-in obstruction, a 10-foot hill, sits near the threshold on one runway approach, within 200 feet of the runway and 200 feet left of centerline.
Is the ANG ramp at KVUJ accessible to civilian traffic?
No, the ANG ramp at Stanly County Airport is restricted to military use only. Access requires prior permission (PPR) and coordination with the base operations office noted in airport remarks. This restriction applies specifically to the Air National Guard ramp area and does not affect the civilian FBO ramp, which operates on its own separate PPR arrangement when used in combination with the ANG ramp. Dispatchers supporting military flights into KVUJ should plan for this coordination requirement ahead of arrival.
