Frequently asked questions
What runway does KCTJ offer for business aviation arrivals?
West Georgia Regional / O V Gray Field (KCTJ) has one runway, 17/35, an asphalt surface measuring 5,503 feet long and 100 feet wide. This is the only paved surface at the airport, so all fixed-wing traffic uses this single strip regardless of wind direction. At 1,165 feet field elevation, the runway length provides adequate margin for most business jet types under normal conditions. There is no tower at KCTJ, so runway use and traffic pattern entry are coordinated over CTAF.
Is fuel available at KCTJ, and what types?
West Georgia Regional / O V Gray Field (KCTJ) stocks 100LL and A+ avgas, and the airport also has Jet A available. The field is attended daily from 0800 to 1800 local time, every day of the week, according to the published attendance schedule. Outside those hours, fuel service may not be staffed, so operators should plan arrivals accordingly. Confirm current fuel availability directly before dispatching a flight that depends on ground service at CTJ.
Does KCTJ have on-airport customs clearance?
West Georgia Regional / O V Gray Field (KCTJ) has no onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is at Fulton County Executive / Charlie Brown Field (KFTY), located approximately 32.78 nautical miles away. International arrivals requiring customs clearance must route through KFTY or another designated port of entry before or after operating into KCTJ. Dispatchers planning international itineraries into CTJ should build the customs stop into the flight plan rather than assuming any capability on the field itself.
What wildlife hazards are reported at KCTJ?
West Georgia Regional / O V Gray Field (KCTJ) reports deer and turkeys on and near the runways at all times, per airport remarks. This is a standing condition rather than a seasonal or occasional advisory, meaning crews should expect wildlife activity on any approach, landing, or departure regardless of time of day or year. Pilots operating into CTJ should maintain heightened visual scanning during the landing and takeoff roll. No mitigation measures beyond pilot awareness are noted in the airport's operational remarks.
How does KCTJ handle approach and departure services given it is non-towered?
West Georgia Regional / O V Gray Field (KCTJ) has no control tower, so approach and departure services are provided by Atlanta Approach. Aircraft should contact Atlanta Approach for these services rather than expecting local tower coordination. If a release time is expected to be less than five minutes, the remark specifies contacting CD directly. This procedure reflects the airport's status as a non-towered field operating within Atlanta's approach control airspace, and dispatchers should factor this coordination step into IFR planning for CTJ.
