Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at KLZU?
Gwinnett County / Briscoe Field does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is at KPDK, located about 18 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan their clearance stop at KPDK or another customs airport before or after operating into KLZU. This distance should factor into routing and fuel planning for international itineraries. Dispatchers should confirm current customs procedures and any required advance notice with the clearing airport directly.
What runway does KLZU offer for business aviation traffic?
KLZU has a single paved runway, 07/25, measuring 6,001 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length supports most business jet operations under typical weight and performance conditions. The airport is towered, and runway lighting includes HIRL on 07/25 along with PAPI on both ends operating continuously. When the tower is closed, MALSR on Runway 25 can be activated via CTAF. There is no parallel or crosswind runway, so wind conditions relative to the 07/25 alignment matter for planning.
What fuel types are available at Gwinnett County / Briscoe Field?
Gwinnett County / Briscoe Field, identified as KLZU, offers Jet A along with 100LL and A+ avgas grades. The airport maintains an all-hours attendance schedule listed as ALL / ALL / ALL, meaning fuel and field access are not restricted to specific posted hours. Business aviation traffic makes up the large majority of annual operations here, which supports consistent turbine fuel availability. Crews should still confirm current fuel service hours and any load restrictions directly with the field ahead of arrival, particularly for after-hours or high-volume uplift needs.
How busy is KLZU and does traffic vary by season?
KLZU recorded 22,058 total annual operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with business aviation accounting for 16,260 of those operations. Traffic is not evenly distributed across the year at Gwinnett County / Briscoe Field. Business aviation operations climb noticeably in September and October, with October posting the highest monthly count at 1,854 operations compared to a February low of 1,125. Dispatchers scheduling arrivals or departures in the fall months should anticipate a busier ramp and pattern environment than during winter months.
What is the pavement strength rating for the runway at KLZU?
The runway at Gwinnett County / Briscoe Field carries a PCR value of 330/F / C/X / T as published in airport data. This rating should be referenced against specific aircraft pavement classification numbers when evaluating whether a given airframe is suitable for the 6,001-foot runway. Dispatchers and operations personnel working heavier business jets should cross-check this figure with their aircraft manufacturer's pavement loading data before committing to an arrival. The runway surface itself is asphalt across its full length and width of 100 feet.
