Frequently asked questions
Does 1F5 have on-site customs clearance?
Hoxie-Sheridan County Airport (1F5) does not offer on-site customs service. The nearest customs-equipped airport is KICT, located approximately 175 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance near this area should plan their routing through that facility rather than expecting service at Hoxie itself.
What runways are available at Hoxie-Sheridan County Airport?
Hoxie-Sheridan County Airport (1F5) has two runways. Runway 17/35 is paved, asphalt-surfaced, and measures 4,400 feet long by 50 feet wide, making it the primary option for business aircraft. Runway 08/26 is a 1,750-foot turf strip, considerably shorter and unpaved, and is better suited to smaller general aviation traffic.
Is 1F5 staffed or towered?
1F5 is an unattended, non-towered airport, meaning there is no on-field personnel and no control tower to provide traffic separation. Pilots operate using CTAF procedures, including activating the medium-intensity runway lighting for Runway 17/35 themselves via the common frequency. This self-service model is typical for lower-traffic fields of this size in Kansas.
What obstacles should pilots be aware of near the runway at Hoxie-Sheridan County Airport?
Hoxie-Sheridan County Airport (1F5) has several close-in obstructions documented near its runway environment, including fencing, posts, and a sign at varying distances and offsets from the runway centerline. A parallel highway also sits near the runway, about 146 feet west of centerline.
