Frequently asked questions
What runway does KSCX offer for business aviation traffic?
Scott Municipal (KSCX) has a single runway, 05/23, measuring 5,505 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. That length accommodates most light and midsize business jets operating into this Oneida, Tennessee field. The airport is non-towered, so pilots coordinate arrivals and departures on the CTAF. Lighting includes REIL on both runway ends, ODALS on runway 23, and MIRL across the full runway, all pilot-activated through CTAF. PAPI is installed on both runway 05 and runway 23 and operates continuously.
Is fuel available at KSCX outside staffed hours?
Scott Municipal airport (KSCX) offers 100LL and A+ fuel, with jet fuel confirmed available on the field. A 24-hour credit card service supports fuel purchases outside the posted attendance schedule. Staffed hours run Monday through Saturday from 0800 to 1800, and Sunday from 1230 to 1800. Outside those windows, the self-serve credit card system allows pilots to fuel without staff present. This setup benefits operators arriving early, late, or on days when the field is otherwise unattended.
How does business aviation traffic vary by month at KSCX?
Business aviation traffic at Scott Municipal (KSCX) is concentrated in certain months rather than spread evenly through the year. October recorded the highest volume among the months reported, at 131 operations, compared to lower counts in winter months like January at 43 and July at 51. This pattern reflects a seasonal concentration in traffic rather than a steady year-round flow. Dispatchers scheduling flights into KSCX should account for this variation when planning slot availability or ramp space expectations. The FAA TFMSC data for 2025 is the source for these monthly figures.
Where does KSCX direct pilots for customs clearance?
Scott Municipal (KSCX) does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs-equipped airport is Knoxville (KTYS), located approximately 48.18 nautical miles away. Pilots requiring customs clearance on arrival need to route through KTYS or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at KSCX. This distance should factor into routing and fuel planning for international arrivals destined for the Oneida, Tennessee area. No customs type or onsite customs designation applies to this airport.
What weather patterns affect operations at KSCX through the year?
Scott Municipal (KSCX), located in Oneida, Tennessee, sees a clear seasonal temperature swing across its climate data. Winter months bring cold conditions, with January averaging 23.8 days below freezing and a maximum temperature near 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer shifts sharply, with July averaging a high near 85.4 degrees and 5.2 days above 90 degrees. Snow accumulation of one inch or more is infrequent but appears in the coldest months, peaking around 0.7 days in January. These patterns support planning for de-icing needs in winter and heat-related performance considerations in summer.
