Harnett Regional Jetport (KHRJ) has a single runway, designated 05/23, built of asphalt. It measures 5,005 feet long and 75 feet wide, which is also the airport's maximum paved runway length. The runway carries medium intensity runway lighting (MIRL) activated on CTAF, along with runway end identifier lights (REIL) on both ends. PAPI guidance is available on both Runway 05 and Runway 23, and it operates continuously rather than on pilot-activated lighting.
Is there anything pilots should know about approach obstacles or terrain near the runway ends at KHRJ?
Yes. Harnett Regional Jetport (KHRJ) reports a drop-off on Runway 05, 60 feet in elevation change, located 350 feet from the threshold. Runway 23 has a separate drop-off of 25 feet, positioned 70 feet left of centerline. The airport's obstruction clearance is also classified per FAR 77 Category C. Pilots planning approaches to either runway end should account for these terrain features in their approach planning.
What fuel is available at Harnett Regional Jetport, and how is it dispensed?

Ground service equipment, including GPUs and bulk oil, is also available on the field. Full airport services are available 24/7 with prior arrangements, which covers fueling and support outside standard attended hours.
Does KHRJ have customs clearance on site, and where is the nearest option?
Harnett Regional Jetport (KHRJ) does not have customs clearance on site. The nearest customs facility is at KRDU, located approximately 30 nautical miles away. Aircraft requiring customs processing near this part of North Carolina should plan to route through that airport instead. Dispatchers coordinating international arrivals into the Erwin area should factor this distance into ground transportation and routing plans.
Is there military activity or airspace nearby that affects operations at KHRJ?
Yes. Harnett Regional Jetport (KHRJ) is located 18 nautical miles northeast of Pope Army Airfield, and low-level military activity occurs in the vicinity of the airport. Pilots operating in the area should maintain awareness of this military traffic. For clearance delivery, pilots contact Fayetteville Approach rather than a local tower, since KHRJ is non-towered. Nearby Simmons AAF and Pope AAF, both military fields, sit roughly 18 to 19 nautical miles to the southwest.
