Frequently asked questions
What runway does KEXX offer for business aviation traffic?
Davidson County Executive, identified as KEXX, has a single runway, 06/24, measuring 5,004 feet by 100 feet with an asphalt surface. The pavement classification is listed as PCR VALUE: 369/F / C/X / T. Runway 06 is equipped with MALSR approach lighting, while Runway 24 has REILS. Both ends carry PAPI visual guidance, and MIRL medium-intensity edge lighting covers the full runway, controlled through CTAF since the field is non-towered.
Is fuel available at KEXX, and how is it dispensed?
Davidson County Executive stocks 100LL and A+ fuel and is shown as having Jet A available as well. The 100LL grade is offered on a 24-hour self-service basis with credit card access, so pilots are not dependent on staffed hours for that grade. The airport's published attendance schedule runs 0800 to 1900 daily. Dispatchers planning after-hours stops at KEXX should confirm which fuel grades fall under the self-service arrangement before arrival.
What is the maximum ramp weight limit at Davidson County Executive?
Davidson County Executive publishes a maximum ramp weight of 30,000 pounds for single wheel gear and 60,000 pounds for dual wheel gear. This limit applies to aircraft using the ramp area at KEXX rather than the runway pavement rating itself. Operators of larger dual-wheel business jets should weigh their aircraft against the 60,000-pound threshold before planning a stop. This figure is a ramp-specific restriction and should be checked alongside the taxiway condition noted for the field.
How does traffic at KEXX vary across the year?
Business aviation traffic at Davidson County Executive is concentrated in specific months rather than spread evenly across the year, based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025. October is the busiest month with 228 operations, followed by April at 203 and September at 198. The quieter months are January and February, each recording around 131 to 132 operations. Total annual business aviation operations at KEXX reach 2,101 out of 2,677 overall operations, indicating the field is used predominantly by business aircraft.
What customs arrangement applies to international arrivals at KEXX?
Davidson County Executive has no onsite customs service; the nearest customs facility is at KINT, located approximately 21.54 nautical miles away. Aircraft requiring customs clearance after crossing an international border must plan to route through that facility rather than clearing directly at KEXX. This distance should factor into fuel and routing plans for any international arrival scheduled to land at Davidson County Executive. Dispatchers should confirm current customs procedures at KINT directly, since none are available on the KEXX field itself.
