Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at Boerne Stage Airfield (5C1)?
Boerne Stage Airfield stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field is attended daily from 0800 to 1700 local time, which covers the hours fuel service can be arranged. Operators planning arrivals or departures outside that window should account for the lack of after-hours attendance. There is no control tower at 5C1, so fuel coordination happens directly with airport staff rather than through ATC or a ground controller.
Can I clear customs at 5C1?
No customs service is available onsite at Boerne Stage Airfield. The nearest airport with customs clearance is San Antonio International (KSAT), approximately 16.36 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from outside the United States need to route their customs clearance through KSAT or another designated port of entry before or instead of landing at 5C1. This distance should be factored into routing and ground transportation planning for international arrivals.
What runway does KSAT-area traffic need to watch for near Boerne Stage Airfield?
Boerne Stage Airfield operates a single runway, 17/35, measuring 5,006 feet by 60 feet with an asphalt surface. Operational remarks warn that traffic operating into and out of 5C1 needs extreme caution due to overflight traffic landing at San Antonio International (KSAT) at 3,000 feet MSL and above, referencing chart LTA-SAT-32. Pilots should also note that Runway 35 has lit power poles, 35 feet high, across the approach path. Coordination for clearance delivery is handled through San Antonio Approach.

Yes, Boerne Stage Airfield has noise abatement procedures in effect, and pilots are directed to contact the airport manager regarding them. The field also prohibits touch-and-go landings, stop-and-go operations, and low approaches. Glider activity operates on and in the vicinity of the airport, adding another factor for arriving and departing traffic to monitor. All turbine aircraft landing at 5C1 must meet Stage 3 noise certification or better.
