Frequently asked questions
What is the runway configuration at KSOW?
Show Low Regional Airport, KSOW, operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 07/25 is the primary strip at 7,202 feet long and 100 feet wide. Runway 04/22 is shorter, at 3,938 feet long and 60 feet wide. The two runways are not connected by pavement at the approach end of runway 22, so aircraft cannot taxi directly between them there. Simultaneous operations on runways 22 and 25 are not authorized.
Are there restrictions on using runway 04/22 at KSOW?
Yes, runway 04/22 at Show Low Regional Airport carries a specific limitation. It is not available for Part 121 or Part 380 operations involving scheduled passenger flights with more than 9 passenger seats, or non-scheduled passenger flights with more than 30 passenger seats. Operators flying larger passenger configurations under these rules should plan to use runway 07/25 instead. This runway is also narrower, at 60 feet, and shorter than runway 07/25, which factors into its operational suitability for larger aircraft categories in any case.
What fuel is available at Show Low Regional Airport?
Show Low Regional Airport, KSOW, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Self-service fuel is available around the clock, per airport remarks. The field is attended daily from 0700 to 1900 local time year-round. Pilots operating outside attended hours can still rely on the self-service fuel option for both fuel types.
Is customs clearance available at KSOW?
Show Low Regional Airport does not have onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is at KIWA, located approximately 100 nautical miles away. Operators arriving internationally should plan to clear customs at that airport before or after a stop at KSOW. There is no CANPASS or restricted customs regime noted for this field since it sits within the United States rather than Canada or Mexico.
What fees apply to landings at Show Low Regional Airport?
Show Low Regional Airport applies a landing fee to overnight transient and commercial operations, according to airport remarks. This is a notable line item for operators planning fuel stops or overnight parking at KSOW. The airport also sees military traffic in the vicinity, a factor to weigh into situational awareness during arrival and departure. Dispatchers should account for this fee structure when comparing KSOW against other regional options in northeastern Arizona.
