Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KBGD?
Hutchinson County Airport (KBGD) has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 17/35 is the longer of the two at 6,299 feet, with a width of 100 feet. Runway 03/21 measures 3,897 feet long and is also 100 feet wide. Both runways carry medium intensity runway lighting, and runways 17 and 35 have pilot-controlled PAPI. Neither runway is lit or activated automatically; lighting is pilot-controlled via CTAF.
Is KBGD a towered airport?
Hutchinson County Airport (KBGD) is non-towered. Traffic advisories and lighting activation are handled through CTAF rather than a control tower. For coordination with air traffic control, the field's clearance delivery is handled by Albuquerque ARTCC rather than a local tower facility. Pilots operating at KBGD should expect to self-announce and coordinate with other traffic on frequency during arrival and departure.
What fuel is available at Hutchinson County Airport?
Hutchinson County Airport (KBGD) offers 100LL and A+ fuel grades, and Jet A is also available on the field. The airport's attendance schedule runs daily from 0800 to 1800 local time. Outside these hours, fuel service may not be staffed. Dispatchers planning arrivals close to these boundary hours should confirm staffing directly, since the schedule reflects standard attended hours rather than fuel availability around the clock.
Where does business aviation traffic at KBGD go for customs clearance?
Hutchinson County Airport (KBGD) does not have onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport (KAMA), approximately 32.7 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to route through KAMA rather than clearing directly at KBGD. This distance should be factored into routing and timing decisions for any international arrivals planning to use Hutchinson County as a destination or fuel stop.
What obstacles should pilots be aware of near the runways at KBGD?
Hutchinson County Airport (KBGD) has several close-in obstructions noted near its runway environment. A 15-foot tree sits 130 feet from the runway, 95 feet to the left. Runway 21 has a 100-foot drop-off located 95 feet from the runway. Runway 3 has a 40-foot drop-off situated 150 feet from the runway. These features are relevant to approach and departure planning, particularly for operators unfamiliar with the field.
