Frequently asked questions
What runway does KFRH have, and how long is it?
French Lick Municipal (KFRH) has a single paved asphalt runway, 08/26, measuring 5,500 feet long and 100 feet wide. This is the only runway at the airport, so all arrivals and departures use this same strip regardless of wind direction. Pilots should plan approaches accordingly, as no crosswind runway alternative exists at this field.
Is there customs clearance available at French Lick Municipal?
French Lick Municipal (KFRH) does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs-equipped airport is Louisville (KSDF), located approximately 47 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance should plan to route through KSDF or coordinate arrival procedures in advance, since KFRH itself offers no facility for that purpose.
Are there any obstacles to be aware of near the runway at KFRH?
Yes, French Lick Municipal (KFRH) has documented close-in obstructions near the runway ends. Brush measuring 15 feet is located 126 feet from the runway end, and a second patch of 13-foot brush sits 194 feet from the runway end, 50 feet left of centerline. Additionally, trees present a 20:1 obstruction clearance slope to the runway threshold, so pilots should factor this into approach planning.

Fuel service is available during the airport's attended hours, which run Monday through Saturday from 0900 to 1700 local time.
