Operating constraints
Fremont Municipal has published operating constraints in three categories: access, runway notes and other notes.
For clearance delivery, contact Omaha Approach.
REIL for runway 14 and PAPI for runways 14 and 32 are activated via CTAF.
The approach slope is 43:1 to the displaced threshold, clearing a light pole 29 feet high, located 1272 feet from the threshold.
The approach slope is 30:1 to the displaced threshold, clearing a tree 66 feet high at 2017 feet distance, 309 feet left of centerline, and a tree 51 feet high at 1521 feet distance, 405 feet left of centerline.
Runway 14 pavement south of the displaced threshold is rated poor by pavement condition index for a 2300-foot section.
The former runway 1/19 is now in use as a taxiway only.
At E81, this taxiway or route is for turning off only.
PAPI lighting is out of service indefinitely.

Frequently asked questions
Is KFET towered, and what are the fuel and attendance hours?
KFET, Fremont Municipal Airport, is non-towered, so traffic coordinates on CTAF. Fuel available onsite includes 100LL and Jet A. The field is attended daily from 0700 to 2000 local, all days of the week. Pilots operating outside that window should plan self-service or prior arrangement for fuel needs. Runway lighting and approach lighting activate via the CTAF frequency rather than a tower controller.
Does Fremont Municipal have customs clearance onsite?
Fremont Municipal Airport does not have onsite customs service. The nearest customs point is Eppley Airfield, KOMA, located approximately 29.6 nautical miles away. Aircraft requiring federal inspection must plan a stop at KOMA or coordinate clearance through Omaha Approach for the corridor, as noted in the field's operational remarks. Dispatchers routing international arrivals through KFET should build this diversion into fuel and timing plans. No CANPASS or eAPIS onsite processing exists at Fremont itself.
What is the runway configuration at KFET, and are there any surface condition issues?
KFET has a single paved runway, 14/32, measuring 6353 feet long and 100 feet wide with a concrete surface. The former runway 1/19 is no longer active for landing traffic and is now used solely as a taxiway. Pavement condition on runway 14 south of the displaced threshold is rated poor for a 2300-foot section, per the pavement condition index. Dispatchers should factor this degraded surface segment into performance planning for operations using that portion of runway 14.
Are there approach obstacles or lighting limitations to know about at Fremont Municipal Airport?
Fremont Municipal Airport, KFET, has published approach slope obstructions on at least one runway end. One approach clears a 29-foot light pole at a 43:1 slope, 1272 feet from the displaced threshold. Another approach must clear trees at 66 feet and 51 feet in height, offset left of centerline, under a 30:1 slope. Additionally, the PAPI lighting system is out of service indefinitely, so pilots should not expect visual glideslope guidance on approach. REIL and PAPI activation for the runways that remain functional is via CTAF.
How does business aviation traffic at KFET vary through the year?
Business aviation traffic at Fremont Municipal Airport, KFET, is concentrated in the summer months. Based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025, July and August each recorded over 150 operations, the year's highest counts. Winter months are markedly quieter, with February showing the lowest volume near 53 operations. Total annual business aviation operations at KFET reached 1252 for the year, out of 1541 total operations recorded. Dispatchers planning summer arrivals should anticipate the year's busiest traffic period at this field.
