Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KSRC?
Searcy Regional Airport, identifier KSRC, has a single paved runway, 01/19, measuring 6,008 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length supports most business turboprop and light jet operations without restriction. The airport is non-towered, so pilots coordinate runway use over the common traffic advisory frequency. There is no crosswind runway, so aircraft planning arrivals should check the wind orientation relative to runway 01/19 in advance.
Is fuel available at Searcy Regional Airport?
Searcy Regional Airport, KSRC, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The 100LL is available self-serve with a credit card at any time. Jet A service outside the posted attendance schedule of 0700 to 1800 daily requires contacting the field for after-hours service. Crews planning early or late arrivals should account for this after-hours procedure rather than assuming staffed Jet A availability around the clock.
Does KSRC have customs clearance onsite?
Searcy Regional Airport, KSRC, does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs point is Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, KLIT, located approximately 37.54 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance need to route through KLIT or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at Searcy. Dispatchers should build this diversion into routing plans for any international arrival intending to use KSRC as the final stop.
What lighting is available at Searcy Regional Airport for night operations?
Searcy Regional Airport, KSRC, operates runway lighting from dusk to dawn on runway 01/19. The medium intensity runway lights are preset to low intensity by default. Pilots can increase the intensity by activating the lights through the common traffic advisory frequency. Because the field is non-towered, this pilot-controlled system is the only means of adjusting lighting intensity after dark.
Are there any visibility or traffic considerations specific to KSRC?
Searcy Regional Airport, KSRC, has no line of sight between the two ends of its runway, a factor noted specifically for small aircraft in the traffic pattern. The airport also sees agricultural aircraft operating at or below 500 feet AGL from February through November, along with gyrocopter activity during daylight hours and student pilot training operations. None of these activities are reported to the airport's traffic advisory system. Pilots inbound to KSRC should maintain extra vigilance for non-reporting traffic given these combined factors.
