Runway 14/32 measures 5,003 feet long and 100 feet wide. Both surfaces support business aviation traffic without a published weight restriction in the data. The airport is non-towered, so runway selection and traffic sequencing follow CTAF procedures.
Is fuel available at KBGE, and how is it dispensed?
Decatur County Industrial Air Park stocks 100LL and A+ fuel, with Jet A also confirmed onsite. Fuel is available through self-service pumps around the clock, and payment is made by credit card. The attendance schedule for the airport itself runs daily from 0800 to 1800 local time. Outside those hours, aircraft can still fuel up without staff present. This makes KBGE usable for after-hours fuel stops within the self-serve system's operating capability.
Does KBGE have customs clearance onsite?
Decatur County Industrial Air Park does not have customs processing onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KMCN, located approximately 114.97 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance need to route through that airport or another designated port of entry before or after stopping at KBGE. Dispatchers planning international arrivals should factor this distance into fuel and routing calculations. No onsite customs type is listed for this field.
What lighting is available on the runways at KBGE?
Decatur County Industrial Air Park provides PAPI on runways 09 and 27, operating continuously from dusk until 2200. High intensity runway lighting on 09/27 is preset to medium intensity during that same dusk-to-2200 window, with higher intensity available via CTAF activation. After 2200, both the PAPI on 09 and 27 and the HIRL on 09/27 require CTAF activation. MALSR on runway 27 is also CTAF-controlled. Note that the runway 27 PAPI is unusable beyond 8 degrees right of the runway centerline.
