Frequently asked questions
What runway does KHBZ offer for business aircraft?
Heber Springs Municipal has a single paved runway, 06/24, measuring 4,002 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway at KHBZ, so all arrivals and departures use this strip regardless of wind direction. Crews should note there is no line of sight between the runway ends, a factor worth accounting for in traffic planning.
Is fuel available at Heber Springs Municipal (KHBZ)?
Yes, KHBZ offers self-service fuel available 24 hours by credit card, including both 100LL and Jet A. This makes fuel access independent of the airport's published attendance schedule of 0800-1700 daily. Pilots operating outside those hours can still fuel their aircraft without needing to coordinate with airport staff.
How does traffic at KHBZ vary through the year?
Business aviation operations at Heber Springs Municipal are not evenly distributed across the year, with May standing out as the busiest month at 53 operations according to FAA TFMSC data. Winter months such as January and February see closer to 15 to 16 operations. Pilots planning trips to KHBZ during spring should expect comparatively higher activity levels at the field.
Where is the nearest customs facility to KHBZ?
The nearest customs facility to Heber Springs Municipal is at Little Rock (KLIT), approximately 48.10 nautical miles away. KHBZ itself does not have customs processing onsite, so international arrivals requiring customs clearance need to route through KLIT or another designated facility. Dispatchers planning international legs should factor this distance into routing decisions.
