Frequently asked questions
What is KHZD and where is it located?
KHZD is Sgt Lee Russell Carroll County Airport, a public-use general aviation field in Huntingdon, Tennessee. It sits at 497 feet elevation and is not served by an air traffic control tower. The field lies roughly 87 nautical miles from the nearest major metro area. Business aviation traffic accounted for 711 of the 960 annual operations recorded in 2025 per FAA TFMSC data. There is no on-field customs service, so international arrivals must plan clearance elsewhere.
What runway does KHZD offer for business aircraft?
Sgt Lee Russell Carroll County Airport has one paved runway, 01/19, measuring 5,507 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. A second surface, H1, is only 50 feet long and classified as concrete-dirt, making it unsuitable for typical business aircraft operations. Runway 01/19 is lit with medium intensity runway lights on CTAF activation, along with REIL and PAPI on both ends. This single runway is the operationally relevant one for turbine and jet traffic at the field.
Is fuel available at KHZD?
Sgt Lee Russell Carroll County Airport stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel, listed in the data as A+. Attendance follows a published schedule: staffed daily Monday through Saturday from 0800 to 1700, and Sunday from 1300 to 1700 local time. Outside those windows, fuel service should not be assumed available. Dispatchers planning arrivals near the edges of this schedule should confirm staffing directly with the airport rather than relying on the posted hours alone.
Where does a flight into KHZD clear customs?
Sgt Lee Russell Carroll County Airport, KHZD, has no on-site customs service. The nearest customs facility is KHOP, located approximately 58.59 nautical miles away. Any international arrival requiring clearance must be routed through that facility or another customs-equipped airport before or after visiting KHZD. Flight planning for international itineraries should build in this detour as a fixed requirement rather than an optional stop.
Are there any PAPI limitations pilots should know about at KHZD?
Yes, both runway ends at Sgt Lee Russell Carroll County Airport carry PAPI usability restrictions. On Runway 01, the PAPI is unusable beyond 9 degrees right of centerline. On Runway 19, the PAPI is unusable beyond 9 degrees left of centerline and beyond 8 degrees right of centerline. These restrictions narrow the reliable visual glideslope guidance cone on approach at KHZD, and crews should cross-check approach alignment with other means when maneuvering near those angular limits.
