Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KSHR / Sheridan County Airport?
Sheridan County Airport, identifier KSHR, operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 15/33 is the primary strip at 8,301 feet long and 100 feet wide, giving it the length classification used for max_paved_ft at this field. Runway 06/24 is shorter and narrower, measuring 5,039 feet by 75 feet. Both runways support fixed-wing traffic, though fixed-wing aircraft are restricted to runways and taxiways only. This runway pairing allows crosswind flexibility for operators planning into KSHR.
Does KSHR have a control tower?
KSHR, Sheridan County Airport, is a non-towered airport. Pilots coordinate movement using a common traffic advisory frequency rather than tower instructions. Lighting activation at the field, including the MALSR on runway 33 and REIL on runways 06, 24, and 15, is tied to CTAF activation. PAPI visual glideslope indicators are installed on runways 06, 24, 15, and 33 to assist approaches. Operators should plan for pilot-controlled lighting procedures when arriving outside staffed hours.
What fuel is available at Sheridan County Airport?
Sheridan County Airport, KSHR, stocks 100 octane avgas along with Jet A and Jet A-1+ fuel grades. The field carries an attendance schedule listed as ALL / ALL / DALGT, indicating fuel service tied to daylight hours year-round. This mix of piston and turbine fuel supports both general aviation and business aircraft transiting the region. Operators should confirm daylight-hours coverage before planning arrivals outside typical daytime windows, since attendance is tied to daylight rather than a fixed clock schedule.
Is customs available at KSHR?
Sheridan County Airport, KSHR, does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs-capable airport is Casper-Natrona County International, KCPR, located 114.09 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins need to route through KCPR or another customs facility before or after a stop at KSHR. This distance should factor into fuel and routing plans for any flight requiring federal inspection services near northern Wyoming.
What is the seasonal traffic pattern at KSHR?
Business aviation traffic at Sheridan County Airport, KSHR, concentrates heavily in the summer months. According to FAA TFMSC data for 2025, August recorded 324 business aviation operations, the highest monthly total, followed closely by July with 301.
