Frequently asked questions
What is the field elevation and runway length at Butler Municipal (6A1)?
Butler Municipal, local identifier 6A1, sits at 667 feet field elevation. The airport has one paved runway, 01/19, measuring 5,002 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. A second runway, 06/24, is a turf strip at 2,405 feet long and 180 feet wide. The paved runway length matches the airport's published maximum paved runway figure of 5,002 feet. There is no towered control at the field, and the airport operates under an unattended attendance schedule.
Is jet fuel available at 6A1 Butler Municipal?
No. Butler Municipal, identified as 6A1, offers only 100LL avgas and does not stock Jet A. Operators requiring jet fuel need to plan a stop elsewhere before or after using this airport. The field is unattended, so fuel availability should be confirmed independently of any posted schedule. This limitation is relevant for turbine operators evaluating 6A1 as a fuel stop rather than a destination-only landing.
Does Butler Municipal have customs clearance on site?
Butler Municipal does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs-equipped airport is KMCN, located 31.12 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins need to route their clearance through KMCN or another designated port of entry before or after operating at 6A1. This is a standard arrangement for smaller general aviation fields near a larger airport with customs capability. Flight planning should account for the added leg or coordination this requires.
What runway approach obstacles should pilots know about at 6A1 Butler Municipal?
At Butler Municipal (6A1), the Runway 06 approach has a documented obstruction: a 54-foot tree located 1,280 feet from the displaced threshold, offset 160 feet to the right, with an approach ratio of 20:1 to the displaced threshold. This affects operators using the turf runway 06/24 rather than the paved 01/19. Runway 06/24 also has its ends and edges marked with in-ground concrete pads. Pilots planning arrivals or departures on Runway 06 should factor this tree penetration into approach planning.
How does business aviation traffic vary by month at KMCN-area airport Butler Municipal?
Business aviation traffic at Butler Municipal, identified as 6A1, is concentrated in specific months rather than spread evenly through the year, according to FAA TFMSC data. November recorded the highest monthly count at 108 operations, followed by October at 80 and April at 70. Summer months show a sharp drop, with July at 4 operations and August at 6. Total annual business aviation operations for 2025 reached 522 out of 670 total operations at the field. This pattern is useful for operators scheduling maintenance windows or expecting lower field activity.
