Frequently asked questions
What kind of traffic does 50F (Bourland Field) handle?
Bourland Field, local identifier 50F, is a public-use general aviation airport in Fort Worth, Texas, with a single paved runway. According to FAA TFMSC data, the field logged 502 annual operations in 2025, with 179 attributed to business aviation. This places it in a moderate-traffic tier compared to larger regional airports nearby. There is no control tower on site, so operations rely on CTAF procedures.
Is fuel available at Bourland Field (50F)?
Bourland Field offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel, with the field noting that fuel is self serve. The airport follows an ALL / MON-SAT / DALGT attendance schedule. Pilots should plan around the self-service arrangement since no full-service line staffing is indicated. This makes advance fuel planning worthwhile for business aviation operators transiting the field.
Is there a weight limit for aircraft operating at 50F?
Yes, aircraft over 12,500 pounds maximum gross weight are prohibited at Bourland Field. This restriction limits the field to lighter general aviation and business aircraft. Operators should verify their aircraft's certified gross weight against this threshold before planning a stop at 50F. The single runway, at 4,049 feet, aligns with this lighter-aircraft profile.
Where does an operator clear customs near Bourland Field?
Bourland Field does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs facility is at KFTW, located approximately 18.36 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance near 50F should plan to route through KFTW rather than expecting on-field processing. This distance should factor into ground transportation or repositioning plans for international arrivals.
