Frequently asked questions
What runway does KAZE have and how long is it?
Hazlehurst Airport, identifier KAZE, operates a single asphalt runway, designated 15/33. The runway measures 5,012 feet long and 75 feet wide, matching the field's maximum paved surface length. There is no crosswind runway, so aircraft using KAZE must plan around wind conditions favoring either runway 15 or runway 33. The paved surface supports business turboprop and light jet traffic typical of the field's annual operations. No additional parallel or secondary runway exists at this airport.
Is KAZE a towered airport, and how does traffic get coordinated?
KAZE, Hazlehurst Airport, is non-towered, so arriving and departing traffic self-coordinates using the common traffic advisory frequency. Pilots activate runway lighting, including REIL on runway 14 and 32 and the PAPI on runway 32, through the CTAF. Medium intensity runway lighting on runway 14/32 is also pilot-controlled via the same frequency. For clearance delivery, pilots contact Jacksonville ARTCC rather than a local tower. This setup is typical for a field of this traffic tier without dedicated air traffic control staffing.
What fuel is available at KAZE and when is the field attended?
Hazlehurst Airport offers 100LL and A+ fuel, with jet fuel confirmed available on the field. Fuel is accessible on a 24-hour basis through self-service credit card fueling, according to airport remarks. Staffed attendance at KAZE follows a Monday through Friday schedule from 0800 to 1700 local time. Outside those hours, pilots rely on the self-service credit card system rather than personnel-assisted fueling. This combination supports both scheduled business aviation traffic and after-hours transient operations.
Does KAZE have on-site customs clearance?
Hazlehurst Airport, KAZE, does not have customs processing on site. The nearest customs facility is located at Macon, Georgia, identifier KMCN, approximately 70.24 nautical miles away. Pilots arriving from international origins must plan to clear customs at that facility or another designated port of entry before or after a stop at KAZE. This distance should factor into fuel and routing planning for any flight requiring customs clearance. Operators should confirm current customs procedures directly with the receiving facility ahead of arrival.
What operational hazards are noted for KAZE?
Hazlehurst Airport, KAZE, carries a general remark warning of deer and other wildlife on and in the vicinity of the airport. This hazard is relevant to both arriving and departing aircraft, particularly during low-visibility periods or dawn and dusk operations when wildlife activity tends to increase. Pilots should maintain vigilance during approach, landing roll, and takeoff phases. No other airfield-specific hazards are listed in the general remarks for this field. Crews operating into KAZE should factor this wildlife advisory into their approach and runway inspection planning.
