Frequently asked questions
What runway does 3MY offer?
Mount Hawley Auxiliary (3MY) has a single runway, designated 18/36, measuring 4,001 feet long and 60 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only paved runway at the field, and its length sets the airport's maximum paved runway distance. Pilots operating larger business aircraft should confirm performance requirements against this single-runway configuration before planning a stop.
Is fuel available at Mount Hawley Auxiliary outside staffed hours?
Yes, Mount Hawley Auxiliary offers both 100LL and Jet-A fuel on a 24-hour basis through credit card self-service. This allows aircraft to fuel outside the airport's dawn-to-dusk attendance schedule without needing staff present. The arrangement supports operators arriving early or departing late relative to normal daytime activity at the field.
Where does 3MY route customs traffic?
Mount Hawley Auxiliary does not have customs service onsite; the nearest customs-capable airport is Peoria International (KPIA), located about 8.7 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to route through that facility rather than 3MY. This distance is short enough that it typically factors into routing decisions for international arrivals in the Peoria area.

Mount Hawley Auxiliary logged 309 business aviation operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, out of 471 total annual operations.
