Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at KMOX outside attended hours?
Fuel is available at Morris Municipal / Charlie Schmidt Field around the clock through a credit card system. Both 100LL and Jet A are on the field, though attended service runs Monday through Friday, 0800 to 1400 local. Outside those hours, pilots self-serve using the card reader. This makes KMOX usable for early or late arrivals without prior coordination for fuel.
What runway does KMOX offer for business aviation traffic?
KMOX has a single paved runway, 14/32, measuring 4,899 feet by 75 feet with an asphalt surface. This is also the airport's longest paved surface, matching the field's published max paved length. The runway is equipped with high-intensity runway lights and PAPI on both ends, pilot-controlled via CTAF. There is no crosswind runway option at this field.
How does traffic at Morris Municipal vary through the year?
Business aviation traffic at Morris Municipal / Charlie Schmidt Field is not evenly distributed across the year according to FAA TFMSC data. October sees the highest monthly count at 96 operations, while December drops to 27, the lowest point. Mid-summer months like July also show a relative dip compared to spring and fall. Dispatchers scheduling around KMOX should expect this month-to-month variation rather than a flat baseline.
Where does KMOX direct traffic for customs clearance?
KMOX itself has no onsite customs service; the nearest customs facility is located about 82 nautical miles away at MN41. Aircraft requiring customs clearance need to route through that facility rather than clearing directly at Morris Municipal / Charlie Schmidt Field. This distance is a planning factor for any international itinerary touching KMOX. Dispatchers should confirm current procedures at the customs facility itself before routing through this area.
