Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at KHPY?
No, KHPY does not have customs clearance onsite. The nearest customs-equipped airport is KEFD, located approximately 15.19 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from outside the United States need to plan their clearance stop at KEFD before or instead of landing at Baytown Airport.
What runway does Baytown Airport have?
Baytown Airport, KHPY, has a single paved runway, 14/32, measuring 4,334 feet long and 60 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway serving the field, so crosswind conditions along the 14/32 axis are the primary consideration for arrivals and departures. There is no parallel or crosswind runway option at this field.
What fuel is available at KHPY?
KHPY offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel, listed at the field as A+ grade Jet A. Attendance at Baytown Airport follows a daily schedule from 0800 to 1700 local time, so fuel service outside those hours should not be assumed. Operators should confirm availability directly ahead of arrival if planning outside attended hours.
Are there obstacles on approach to KHPY runways?
Yes, Baytown Airport reports close-in obstructions and approach slope restrictions on both runway ends of 14/32. Trees as tall as 40 feet sit near the displaced threshold on one approach, with a 12:1 slope, and 33-foot trees affect the other approach at a 13:1 slope. Crews should review these obstacle clearance figures before planning a visual approach into KHPY.
