Frequently asked questions
How long is the runway at KSAA?
Shively Field (KSAA) has a single runway, 05/23, measuring 8,801 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length matches the airport's max paved figure, meaning the full paved distance at the field is available on this one runway. The generous length and width support a broad range of business jet types without runway-length constraints being a typical limiting factor. Pilots should still account for the field's high elevation of 7,014 feet when calculating takeoff and landing performance.
Is fuel available at Shively Field?
Shively Field offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel, with full service available. Standard attendance runs daily from 0700 to 1700 local, and full-service fuel is noted as available after hours as well according to airport remarks. Pilots operating outside the posted attendance window should still expect fuel support based on this after-hours provision. This combination of full-service Jet A and avgas makes KSAA a workable stop for mixed piston and turbine operations.
Where does KSAA process customs for international arrivals?
KSAA does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is at Casper-Natrona County International Airport (KCPR), located approximately 89 nautical miles from Shively Field. Flights requiring customs clearance need to route through KCPR or another designated port of entry before or after operating at Saratoga. Dispatchers planning international itineraries through this region should build the diversion distance into routing and fuel planning.
What operational hazard should pilots know about at Shively Field?
Shively Field carries a documented wind shear caution over the highway approach end of Runway 23. This is a specific, published hazard rather than a general regional weather note, and it applies to aircraft on approach to that runway end. Runway lighting at KSAA includes REIL and PAPI on both Runway 5 and Runway 23, along with MIRL on Runway 05/23, all activated via CTAF since the field is non-towered. Pilots should brief the wind shear note alongside standard CTAF procedures when planning arrivals to Runway 23.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at KSAA?
Business aviation traffic at Shively Field peaks sharply in summer, with September recording 354 operations, July 339, and August 309, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. This contrasts with winter months such as April and February, which saw 29 and 41 operations respectively. The seasonal pattern suggests dispatchers should expect tighter ramp and fuel availability during the July through September window. Total annual business aviation operations at KSAA reached 1,671 out of 1,869 total operations for the year.
