Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at KTDF, and does it operate as an attended field?
KTDF, Raleigh Regional at Person County, offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field follows an attended schedule of 0900 to 1700 daily, every day of the week. Outside those hours, pilots relying on self-serve or after-hours arrangements should plan accordingly. The airport is non-towered, so all fuel and ramp coordination happens through CTAF rather than a tower frequency. Dispatchers should confirm fuel availability directly for operations planned near the edges of the attended window.
What is the runway configuration at KTDF?
Raleigh Regional at Person County has a single runway, 06/24, which is 6,005 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length supports most business jet operations without payload restriction under normal conditions. A remark for KTDF notes there is no line of sight between the runway ends, a factor relevant to traffic awareness at this non-towered field. REIL lighting serves Runway 24, and MIRL covers the full 06/24 runway operating from sunset to sunrise, with pilot-controlled activation available for other hours.
How does a pilot activate runway lighting at KTDF outside standard hours?
At KTDF, MIRL for Runway 06/24 operates automatically from sunset to sunrise, but pilots must activate the system for use at other times. The MALSR system on Runway 06 also requires pilot activation. PAPI units serving both Runway 06 and Runway 24 are controlled through CTAF as well. Raleigh Regional at Person County also has a Ground Communication Outlet on frequency 119.700, reachable through Raleigh Approach, which can serve as a backup if lighting activation via CTAF is unsuccessful.
Where is the nearest customs facility for aircraft arriving at KTDF?
The nearest customs processing point for KTDF, Raleigh Regional at Person County, is Raleigh-Durham International, located approximately 26.24 nautical miles away. Customs is not available onsite at Raleigh Regional itself. Flight crews requiring customs clearance need to route through Raleigh-Durham International or another designated port of entry before or after their stop at KTDF. This distance should factor into routing and timing decisions for any international arrival planning through the Person County area.
What wildlife or obstruction hazards are noted for operations at KTDF?
Raleigh Regional at Person County reports deer and birds both on and in the vicinity of the airport, a standing hazard for arriving and departing traffic. Pilots should maintain heightened visual awareness during approach and departure phases, particularly around dusk and dawn periods when wildlife activity tends to increase.

These factors combine to make visual vigilance a standing operational consideration at KTDF.
