Frequently asked questions
What runway does KPHT offer for business aircraft?
Henry County Airport (KPHT) has a single runway, 02/20, measuring 5,001 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length accommodates most light to midsize business jets operating into the field. The runway is unlighted along the parallel taxiway, so ground movement at night requires attention to that detail. REIL and MIRL lighting on runway 02/20 operate from dusk to dawn, while the PAPI runs continuously. There is no control tower at KPHT, so pilots coordinate arrivals and departures using standard non-towered procedures.
Is fuel available at KPHT?
Henry County Airport (KPHT) stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel, listed in airport data as A+ grade. Fueling and other field services follow the posted attendance schedule of Monday through Friday, 0800 to 1630 local, daily coverage otherwise unspecified. Henry County is a non-towered, public-use airport at 580 feet elevation in Paris, Tennessee. Dispatchers should plan fuel uplift around the attended hours rather than assume continuous access. Confirm current fuel status directly with the field before finalizing a trip that depends on it.
Does KPHT have on-site customs clearance?
Henry County Airport (KPHT) has no on-site customs service. The nearest customs facility is at Fort Campbell (KHOP), located approximately 47.59 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance need to route through KHOP or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at Henry County. This is a standard arrangement for smaller general aviation fields without a Federal Inspection Station. Dispatchers planning international arrivals should build the diversion to KHOP into routing and timing.
What are the PAPI limitations at KPHT?
The PAPI serving runway 02/20 at Henry County Airport (KPHT) has visibility restrictions off centerline. One remark states the PAPI is unusable beyond 8 degrees right and 8 degrees left of centerline. A separate remark notes it is also unusable beyond 9 degrees right of centerline. Pilots flying visual approaches should stay within these angular limits to maintain a usable glidepath indication. The PAPI itself operates continuously, per airport lighting remarks, but its usable cone is restricted as described.
How seasonal is business aviation traffic at KPHT?
Business aviation traffic at Henry County Airport (KPHT) shows clear month-to-month variation across 2025 FAA TFMSC data. Monthly operations ranged from a low of 18 in October to a high of 76 in June, with summer months generally busier than the fall. Annual business aviation operations totaled 651 out of 750 total operations for the year. Dispatchers scheduling flights into KPHT during summer months should anticipate a higher volume of surrounding traffic than in October or the depths of winter. The airport remains non-towered throughout the year regardless of this variation.
