Frequently asked questions
Is there customs clearance available at KSNK?

What fuel is available at Winston Field?
Winston Field (KSNK) stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A. Fuel service follows the airport's attendance schedule of 0800 to 1800 local time, seven days a week, rather than being available around the clock. Pilots arriving outside those hours should plan fuel needs accordingly.
How long are the runways at KSNK?
KSNK has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 17/35 is the longer of the two at 5,599 feet with a width of 100 feet, while runway 08/26 measures 4,200 feet by 75 feet. Both runways are paved, giving operators a choice depending on wind conditions.
Are there any lighting or approach considerations at KSNK?
