Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KHTH?
Hawthorne Industrial Airport (KHTH) has two runways: 10/28, a 6,000-foot paved asphalt runway 100 feet wide, and 15/33, a 3,250-foot dirt runway 130 feet wide. The paved runway accommodates the bulk of business aviation traffic given its length and surface. Pilots using 15/33 should account for its unpaved surface when assessing performance and braking conditions.
Is fuel available at Hawthorne Industrial Airport?
Hawthorne Industrial Airport (KHTH) offers 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel, including Jet A+. The airport is unattended, so fuel service is not staffed and pilots should plan accordingly for self-service or pre-arranged access. There is no tower at the field, and operations are coordinated through CTAF.
Are there customs facilities at KHTH?
KHTH does not have customs processing on site. The nearest customs facility is at Reno (KRNO), approximately 78 nautical miles away. Pilots requiring customs clearance near Hawthorne Industrial Airport should plan to route through Reno rather than expecting service at the field itself.
What wildlife or UAV hazards should pilots expect at Hawthorne Industrial Airport?
Hawthorne Industrial Airport (KHTH) reports occasional unmanned aircraft (UAV / UAS) activity on and in the vicinity of the airport, along with wildlife activity in the vicinity. Pilots operating at KHTH should maintain vigilance for both hazards during approach, departure, and ground operations, particularly given the airport's unattended and non-towered status.
