Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KLAA?
Southeast Colorado Regional, identified as KLAA, has two paved runways. Runway 18/36 is the longer of the two, a 6,304-foot concrete surface measuring 100 feet wide. Runway 08/26 is an asphalt runway measuring 5,001 feet long and 60 feet wide. Both runways support paved-surface operations for turbine and piston business aircraft. The airport is non-towered, so runway selection and traffic sequencing follow CTAF procedures.
Is fuel available at KLAA?
Southeast Colorado Regional stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. According to airfield remarks, 100LL is available on a self-service basis 24 hours a day. The airport's published attendance schedule runs all days from 0800 to 1700 local time. Pilots operating outside those hours should plan around self-service fuel access for 100LL specifically, since Jet A service arrangements are not detailed in the self-serve remark. KLAA supports both piston and turbine operations given this dual fuel offering.
Does KLAA have customs clearance on site?
Southeast Colorado Regional does not have customs clearance facilities on site. The nearest customs airport is KCOS, located approximately 104 nautical miles away. Pilots arriving from international origins need to plan a customs stop at KCOS or another designated port of entry before or after operations at KLAA. This is an important routing consideration for any flight crossing an international border into southeast Colorado. Dispatchers should factor this distance into fuel and routing plans for international itineraries.
What lighting is available at Southeast Colorado Regional?
Southeast Colorado Regional provides runway end identifier lights on runways 08, 26, 18, and 36. PAPI lighting serves runways 08, 26, and 36, while a VASI system serves runway 18. Medium intensity runway lights cover both 08/26 and 18/36, and taxiway lighting is also installed. All lighting is preset to medium intensity and can be activated with increased intensity via CTAF. This gives pilots pilot-controlled lighting access for night or low-visibility arrivals at KLAA.
