Frequently asked questions
Is customs available on-site at KTYQ?
No, customs services are not on-site at Indianapolis Executive (KTYQ). The nearest customs facility is at KIND, approximately 18.8 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to coordinate arrival at that facility or through a nearby designated port of entry. This distance should factor into trip planning for any international arrival into the Indianapolis area using KTYQ as the destination airport. Dispatchers should confirm current customs procedures directly with the relevant authority before filing.
What runway configuration does KTYQ offer?
Indianapolis Executive (KTYQ) has a single runway, 18/36, built of concrete and measuring 7,001 feet by 100 feet. This length supports a wide range of business jet operations without runway-length limitations. Runway 36 is designated as the calm wind and crosswind runway per airport remarks. The airport is non-towered, so pilots operate under CTAF procedures for sequencing and runway use. The single-runway layout means wind conditions across 18/36 are the primary factor in operational planning.
What fuel is available at KTYQ?
Indianapolis Executive (KTYQ) offers 100LL, Jet A, and Jet A+ fuel types. 100LL is available through self-service with credit card access on a 24-hour basis, according to airport remarks. The attendance schedule for the field runs daily from 0600 to 2000. Jet A fuel arrangements should be confirmed against attended hours since self-service availability is specifically noted only for 100LL. Operators planning after-hours Jet A uplift should verify service through operations contacts ahead of arrival.
Are there wildlife or obstruction hazards reported at KTYQ?
Yes, Indianapolis Executive (KTYQ) reports both a close-in obstruction and bird activity in its remarks. A 10-foot crop obstruction sits 230 feet east of the runway centerline, which is relevant for approach and departure planning on runway 18/36. Separately, bird activity is reported on and in the vicinity of the airport, a standing caution for all arriving and departing traffic. Neither remark specifies a particular runway end for the bird activity, so crews should maintain general vigilance during all phases of ground and low-altitude flight.
Does KTYQ see seasonal traffic variation?
Yes, Indianapolis Executive (KTYQ) shows a clear seasonal pattern in its 2025 business aviation traffic, according to FAA TFMSC data. Monthly operations climb from a low near 768 in February to a peak of 1,131 in August. The summer and early fall months, from June through October, consistently post the highest operation counts of the year. Winter months, particularly January and February, show comparatively lower traffic. This pattern is useful for dispatchers anticipating ramp congestion or scheduling flexibility at different times of year.
