Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KSCA?
Sidney Municipal Airport, KSCA, operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 10/28 is the longer of the two, measuring 5,013 feet by 75 feet, and serves as the primary runway for business aviation traffic. Runway 05/23 is shorter and narrower, at 2,981 feet by 50 feet. Neither runway is equipped with an air traffic control tower, since KSCA is a non-towered field. Pilots coordinate clearance delivery through Columbus Approach rather than a local tower.
Is fuel available at KSCA outside staffed hours?
Sidney Municipal Airport, KSCA, offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel available H24 via credit card, so self-service fueling is not limited to the posted attendance schedule. The staffed attendance schedule runs Monday through Saturday from 0800 to 1800. Anti-icing additive is also available at the fuel nozzle for aircraft that require it. This combination allows operators to plan fuel stops at KSCA outside the hours when personnel are on site.
