Frequently asked questions
What runways does KRBD have and how long are they?
Dallas Executive (KRBD) operates two paved concrete runways. Runway 13/31 is the primary surface at 7,136 feet long and 100 feet wide, supporting the majority of business aviation traffic. Runway 17/35 measures 3,800 feet long and 150 feet wide. Both surfaces are concrete and suitable for a range of turbine and piston aircraft. Dispatchers planning larger jet operations should default to 13/31 given its greater length.
Is fuel available at KRBD around the clock?
Yes, fuel is available 24 hours a day at Dallas Executive, according to airport remarks. Both 100LL and Jet A are offered on the field. The airport attendance schedule runs daily from 0600 to 2000 local time, though fuel service itself is not limited to those hours per the remark on file. KRBD is a towered airport, which adds a layer of coordination for arrivals outside standard tower hours. Crews should still confirm fueling logistics directly with providers on the field before arrival.
Does KRBD have on-site customs clearance?
Dallas Executive does not have customs clearance on site. The nearest customs facility is Dallas Love Field (KDAL), located approximately 9.93 nautical miles away. Crews arriving internationally should plan to clear customs at KDAL before or after operations at KRBD. This distance is short enough to make coordination straightforward, but it still requires separate routing and timing in a flight plan. Dispatchers should confirm customs procedures at KDAL directly since KRBD itself offers no clearance service.
What obstacles should pilots be aware of near KRBD's runways?
Dallas Executive reports close-in obstructions near its runway environment. Trees 25 feet tall sit within 0 to 199 feet of the runway, offset 399 feet to the right. A concrete wall 15 feet tall is located at the runway edge with zero-foot distance, offset 385 feet to the left. Separately, an approach slope of 0:1 to the displaced threshold clears over 20-foot trees positioned 395 feet to the right. Pilots flying visual or non-precision approaches at KRBD should account for these obstructions during approach planning.
How does business aviation traffic vary by season at KRBD?
Business aviation traffic at Dallas Executive (KRBD) is not evenly distributed across the year. Based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025, monthly operations range from a low of 405 in August to a high of 776 in November. Late fall months, particularly October and November, show a noticeable increase in business aviation operations compared to summer months. Total annual business aviation operations for the reporting period reached 6,437 out of 11,397 total annual operations. Dispatchers scheduling around peak periods should expect higher volumes in the October-November window.
