Frequently asked questions
What runway is available at KAGO?
Ralph C Weiser Field (KAGO) has one paved runway, designated 18/36, measuring 5,007 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This single strip handles all fixed-wing traffic at the field. There is no parallel or crosswind runway option, so wind conditions along the 18/36 axis are the primary operational consideration.
Is fuel available at KAGO?
KAGO offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel through a self-serve system operating 24 hours a day using a credit card. The field itself is unattended, so there is no staffed FBO presence for after-hours service beyond the self-serve pumps. Pilots should plan for self-service fueling rather than line service support.
Does KAGO have customs clearance onsite?
Ralph C Weiser Field does not have customs clearance onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KSHV, located approximately 56 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs processing should plan to route through that facility rather than expecting service at KAGO directly.
How is lighting activated at KAGO?
At Ralph C Weiser Field, the PAPI systems for runways 18 and 36 operate continuously, 24 hours a day. The REIL and MIRL lighting for runway 18/36, however, must be activated pilot-side using CTAF. This setup is typical for an unattended field where staffed lighting control is not available.
