Frequently asked questions
Is KEDN a towered airport?
No, Enterprise Municipal Airport is untowered. Pilots operate on CTAF for traffic advisories and runway lighting activation. For clearance delivery, the field routes through Cairns Approach, and when that approach is closed, through Jacksonville ARTCC instead. This arrangement reflects the airport's proximity to Cairns Army Airfield at Fort Rucker, located under 10 nautical miles away. Dispatchers should plan for standard non-towered procedures at KEDN rather than tower-controlled sequencing.
What fuel is available at Enterprise Municipal Airport?
Enterprise Municipal Airport stocks both 100LL and A+ fuel, and Jet A is confirmed available on the field. Fuel service aligns with the airport's published attendance schedule, which runs Monday through Saturday with Sunday unattended. Weekday hours extend from 0700 to 1700, and Saturday hours run 0800 to 1700. Flights planning weekend arrivals should account for the unattended Sunday schedule when sequencing fuel needs at KEDN.
How long is the runway at KEDN?
KEDN has a single runway, 05/23, measuring 5,080 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This matches the airport's maximum paved distance figure, confirming it as the only paved runway on the field. The runway is equipped with REILs and PAPI on both ends, along with medium intensity runway lighting. Enterprise Municipal Airport's runway length supports a range of business aviation aircraft operating in the region.
What happens to runway lighting at Enterprise Municipal Airport after dusk?
Medium intensity runway lighting on runway 05/23 at Enterprise Municipal Airport operates automatically from dusk until 2330. After that time, pilots must activate the lighting themselves using CTAF. REILs and PAPI are also installed on both runway ends to support visual approaches. Crews planning late arrivals at KEDN should be prepared to key the CTAF frequency to bring the lighting back on after the automatic period ends.
Where does KEDN handle customs clearance for international arrivals?
Enterprise Municipal Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs-equipped airport is KPNS, located approximately 82.81 nautical miles away. Flights arriving from outside the United States would need to clear customs at that facility before or after operating into KEDN. Dispatchers planning international itineraries through Enterprise Municipal Airport should build this routing distance into their fuel and timing calculations.
