Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KAOH?
Lima Allen County Airport, KAOH, has one paved runway, 10/28, measuring 6,000 feet long and 150 feet wide. The surface is asphalt. This single runway handles all fixed-wing traffic at the field, since there is no crosswind runway listed in the data. The 6,000-foot length matches the airport's maximum paved runway figure, meaning it is the longest strip available at this facility. Dispatchers planning larger business aircraft should note this is the only runway option at KAOH.
Is KAOH a towered airport?
KAOH, Lima Allen County Airport, is a non-towered field. Pilots use the common traffic advisory frequency for runway lighting activation, including the runway end identifier lights and high intensity runway lights on runway 10/28. The precision approach path indicator lights on both runway 10 and runway 28 operate continuously rather than being pilot-activated. For clearance delivery when unable to reach the airport directly, traffic is advised to contact Columbus Approach on frequency. There is no operating control tower at this location.
Does Lima Allen County Airport have customs clearance onsite?

Operators arriving from international destinations, including cross-border traffic tracked by the FAA, need to route through KDAY or another customs-equipped airport for clearance before or after stopping at KAOH. This distance should factor into fuel and routing planning for any flight requiring customs processing near Lima.
What fuel is available at KAOH?
Lima Allen County Airport, KAOH, offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel, listed in the data as A1+ grade. This dual availability supports both piston general aviation traffic and turbine business aircraft operating through the field. The airport's attendance schedule runs Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1700, Saturday from 0900 to 1600, and Sunday from 1300 to 1700, which governs when fuel services and other field support are staffed. Operators should plan arrivals within these windows for attended fuel service.
What wildlife hazards are noted at KAOH?
Lima Allen County Airport reports deer, birds, and other wildlife on and in the vicinity of the airport. This is a standing operational remark rather than a seasonal advisory, so crews should maintain awareness of wildlife activity on approach, departure, and while taxiing at any time of year. No mitigation measures or specific runway associations are specified in the remark. Pilots operating at KAOH, particularly during dawn and dusk periods when wildlife tends to be more active, should factor this into their situational awareness.
