Frequently asked questions
Does KTIX have customs clearance on site?
Space Coast Regional Airport does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is at KMLB, located approximately 26 nautical miles away. Crews arriving internationally need to plan a stop at that airport or coordinate clearance in advance through the appropriate channel. This distance should factor into fuel and routing planning for any flight requiring a customs stop near Titusville. Dispatchers should confirm current CANPASS or clearance procedures with KMLB directly before filing.
What runways are available at Space Coast Regional Airport?
Space Coast Regional Airport, KTIX, has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 18/36 is the longer of the two at 7,319 feet long and 150 feet wide. Runway 09/27 measures 5,000 feet long and 100 feet wide. Both runways are paved and support jet operations, with Runway 18/36 carrying two separate PCR values reflecting different pavement sections rated 350/F / A/X / T and 580/F / B/X / T.
Are there restrictions on airline operations at KTIX?
Yes, Runway 18/36 at KTIX carries a specific operational restriction. It is not available for Part 121 or Part 380 operations involving scheduled passenger-carrying flights with more than nine passenger seats. The same restriction applies to non-scheduled passenger-carrying operations exceeding thirty passenger seats. This limits the runway's use for larger commercial and charter passenger flights while leaving it available for general and business aviation traffic. Operators planning scheduled or charter passenger service should verify seat configuration against this limit before filing into Space Coast Regional Airport.
What obstacles or visual hazards should pilots know about at Space Coast Regional Airport?
Space Coast Regional Airport has trees positioned 425 feet left and right of centerline along the first 1,500 feet of Runway 18. In minimum visibility conditions, pilots should also be aware that bright lights in a parking lot located a quarter mile east of Runway 18 have been mistaken for runway lights. Additionally, air traffic control at the tower cannot provide visual traffic services over the southwest portions of taxilanes D and E due to non-visibility from the tower cab. These factors are relevant for approach planning and ground movement awareness at KTIX.
When is fuel available at KTIX and what types are offered?
Space Coast Regional Airport offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field is attended daily from 0700 to 2100 local time. Fuel service after these hours requires prior arrangement, as noted in the airport's operational remarks for after-hours fuel access. Dispatchers planning early morning or late evening arrivals into KTIX should coordinate fuel needs ahead of the published attendance window to avoid delays on the ramp.
