Operating constraints
Findlay Airport has published operating constraints in three categories: access, runway notes and environmental.
For clearance delivery, if unable to contact on flight service station frequency, contact Toledo Approach.
Runway end identifier lights for runways 07, 25, and 36, precision approach path indicators for runways 07, 25, 18, and 36, medium intensity runway lighting for Runway 07/25, and high intensity runway lighting for Runway 18/36 are pilot-activated on CTAF. The precision approach path indicators for runways 07, 25, 18, and 36 operate continuously from sunrise to sunset.
A 12-foot lighted or marked blast fence is located 117 feet from the runway, and an 18-foot road is located 110 feet from the runway.
The approach slope is 17:1 to the displaced threshold, over 65-foot trees located 1,108 feet from the threshold and 392 feet to the left.

Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KFDY?
Findlay Airport (KFDY) has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 18/36 is the longer of the two at 6,499 feet, with a width of 100 feet. Runway 07/25 measures 5,883 feet long and is also 100 feet wide. Both runways are paved asphalt, giving operators a choice of alignment depending on wind conditions. Neither runway has a control tower overseeing operations, so all traffic coordinates on the common frequency.
Is KFDY a towered airport?
No, Findlay Airport (KFDY) is non-towered. Pilots and dispatchers coordinate arrivals and departures on the CTAF. For clearance delivery communications when unable to contact the flight service station on its frequency, traffic is directed to contact Toledo Approach instead. This arrangement matters for flight planning since standard tower coordination procedures do not apply at KFDY.
Where is the nearest customs facility to Findlay Airport?
Findlay Airport (KFDY) does not have customs service on site. The nearest airport of entry is Toledo (KTOL), located approximately 35 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins need to plan a stop at KTOL, or another designated port of entry, before or in place of landing directly at KFDY. This distance should factor into fuel and routing plans for any international arrival.
What lighting is available at KFDY for approach and runway guidance?
Findlay Airport (KFDY) provides pilot-activated runway lighting on CTAF. Runway end identifier lights are available for runways 07, 25, and 36, while precision approach path indicators serve runways 07, 25, 18, and 36. Medium intensity runway lighting covers Runway 07/25, and high intensity runway lighting covers Runway 18/36. The PAPI units on all four runway ends operate continuously from sunrise to sunset.
What obstacles should pilots be aware of near KFDY?
Findlay Airport (KFDY) has documented close-in obstructions near its runway environment. A 12-foot blast fence sits 117 feet from the runway, and an 18-foot road lies 110 feet away. On the approach slope, trees 65 feet tall are located 1,108 feet from the displaced threshold and 392 feet to the left, producing a 17:1 approach slope to that threshold. A separate approach maintains a 34:1 slope to the displaced threshold. Bird and wildlife activity has also been reported on and in the vicinity of the airport.
