Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at KHAO?
Butler County Regional / Hogan Field has no onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is KLUK, located 16.39 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins need to route their customs clearance through KLUK or another designated port of entry. Dispatchers should build this diversion into trip planning rather than assuming clearance at KHAO itself.
What is the runway configuration at KHAO?
KHAO has a single paved runway, designated 12/30, measuring 5,500 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway serving Butler County Regional / Hogan Field, so wind conditions across its axis are the main operational factor for arrivals and departures. There is no crosswind runway option at this field. Runway 30 has an approach lighting system (MALS), and both ends carry REIL and PAPI, all pilot-controlled through CTAF.
Is Jet A fuel confirmed available at KHAO?
Butler County Regional / Hogan Field lists Jet A and Jet A+ among its fuel types. Jet A+ specifically is noted as available on request at delivery, according to the field remarks, rather than held as standing ramp stock. 100LL is also carried for piston traffic. Dispatchers should confirm fuel uplift arrangements ahead of arrival given the on-request nature of the Jet A+ supply.
What wildlife hazards are reported at KHAO?
Butler County Regional / Hogan Field reports deer, birds, and other wildlife both on the airport and in the vicinity, per field remarks. This is a standing hazard notation rather than a seasonal alert, so crews should maintain vigilance during all phases of visual approach and departure, particularly at low light. No specific runway or time-of-day pattern is specified in the data. Standard wildlife avoidance procedures apply for arrivals and departures at KHAO.
When is KHAO's business aviation traffic busiest during the year?
Business aviation traffic at Butler County Regional / Hogan Field, tracked as cross-border activity by FAA TFMSC for 2025, concentrates in the summer months. July recorded 312 operations, the highest monthly count of the year, with March, May, and September also posting totals above 260. The slowest months are January and December, both under 205 operations. This seasonal pattern should factor into scheduling and slot expectations for operators planning trips to KHAO during peak months.
