Frequently asked questions
What is the longest runway at KTYR?
Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (KTYR) has three paved runways, and the longest is Runway 04/22 at 8,334 feet of concrete, 150 feet wide. The next longest is Runway 13/31, an asphalt strip measuring 5,198 feet by 150 feet. Runway 18/36 rounds out the field at 4,832 feet by 150 feet, also asphalt. The 04/22 length and pavement strength make it the primary runway for larger business jets operating into Tyler. Dispatchers planning heavier aircraft should default to 04/22 given its length advantage over the crosswind runways.
Is fuel available at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport?
Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (KTYR) offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel on the field. The airport operates on an attendance schedule of 0500 to 2200 local, every day of the week. KTYR is a towered airport, which supports coordination for fuel and ramp movements during those attended hours. Business aviation traffic accounts for the majority of the airport's annual operations, so fuel service is oriented toward that segment. Crews arriving outside the listed attendance window should plan fuel needs accordingly.
Does KTYR have customs clearance on site?
Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (KTYR) does not have onsite customs listed in its facility data. The nearest customs-capable airport is KTKI, located approximately 77.64 nautical miles away. Crews requiring customs clearance near Tyler should plan to route through KTKI rather than expecting service at KTYR itself. This distance is a factor for international arrivals that would otherwise plan a direct landing at Tyler. Flight planning for customs-dependent trips into this area should build in the diversion or pre-clearance arrangement through KTKI.
What lighting is available at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport when the tower is closed?
When the control tower is closed at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (KTYR), pilots activate lighting themselves over CTAF. This includes the MALSR on Runway 04, the REIL on Runway 22, and HIRL on Runway 04/22, along with MIRL on Runway 18/36 and taxiway lighting. HIRL on Runway 13/31 is preset to medium intensity, with pilots able to increase intensity via CTAF. The PAPI systems on Runways 04 and 22 and the VASI on Runway 31 operate continuously rather than requiring activation. This gives after-hours arrivals a full visual approach lighting picture at KTYR.
Are there operating restrictions for helicopters or noise-sensitive areas at KTYR?
Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (KTYR) has specific procedures for helicopter traffic and general noise control. Helicopters operating inbound or outbound to the downtown hospitals must state their intentions on frequency 123.075. The airport also has noise abatement procedures in effect for fixed-wing and rotary traffic generally. Separately, the west side passenger terminal ramp has restricted access limited to air carrier operations. Crews operating near the hospital corridor or terminal ramp at KTYR should account for these procedural constraints before arrival.
