Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at KROS?
Rush City Regional (KROS) offers self-serve fuel around the clock, accessible with a credit card. Both 100LL and Jet A are listed among the field's fuel types. Because service is self-serve, dispatchers should not expect attended fueling outside the field's posted attendance hours. Confirm fuel availability directly before planning a stop dependent on it.
Does KROS have a control tower?
Rush City Regional (KROS) is a non-towered airport, so traffic coordination on the field relies on CTAF procedures. Pilot-activated lighting is available for runway 16/34, including REIL, PAPI, and MIRL, and can be stepped up in intensity from the preset low setting. A ground communication outlet on frequency 121.725 links to Minneapolis ARTCC and Flight Service for clearance delivery when needed. This is a standard setup for a field of this traffic level.
Where is the nearest customs facility to KROS?
Rush City Regional (KROS) does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs airport of entry is KSTP, located approximately 46 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance near Rush City should plan their arrival through KSTP instead. This distance should be factored into routing for any international leg terminating in the area.
