Operators should plan arrivals within the published attendance window since fuel service ties to that schedule.
What is the EMAS installation at KEWN and where is it located?
KEWN, Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, has an Engineered Materials Arresting System installed at the departure end of runway 22. The EMAS bed measures 279.42 feet in length and 162 feet in width. This arresting system is designed to help decelerate an aircraft that overruns the runway end. Crews operating on runway 22 should account for this feature when planning overrun margins and runway end clearances.
What is the nearest customs airport to KEWN, and what access applies there?
The nearest customs-capable airport to Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, KEWN, is KNKT, located about 12.94 nautical miles away. KNKT is Cherry Point MCAS, a military field, so customs clearance there is military aircraft only. KEWN itself does not have onsite customs service according to the data on file. Operators requiring customs clearance near New Bern should coordinate with a customs-equipped facility other than KNKT if military access does not apply to their flight.
Does KEWN see military traffic, and are there restrictions tied to it?
Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, KEWN, hosts military tactical jet aircraft operations under a straight-in, full-stop landing requirement only. Runway 14/32 is designated for these tactical jet operations, per the field's general remarks. This runway is separate from the primary 04/22 runway used for most civil business aviation traffic. Operators sharing the field with tactical military traffic should expect straight-in approach procedures rather than pattern work on 14/32.
