Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KZPH?
Zephyrhills Municipal Airport, identifier KZPH, has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 01/19 is the longer of the two at 6,201 feet, with a width of 100 feet. Runway 05/23 measures 5,001 feet long and is also 100 feet wide. Both surfaces are asphalt, and the airport lists a maximum paved runway length of 6,201 feet. Dispatchers planning for larger business aircraft should note that Runway 01/19 carries the bulk of traffic given its length advantage.
Is KZPH a towered airport?
KZPH, Zephyrhills Municipal Airport, is non-towered. Pilots use CTAF to activate PAPI on runways 01, 05, 19, and 23, as well as REIL on runways 1 and 19. HIRL on runway 1/19 and MIRL on runway 5/23 are preset to low intensity from dusk until 2200, with increased intensity and activation available after 2200 via CTAF. Given the extensive mixed-traffic operations at the field, including all aircraft categories on runway 1/19, coordination over CTAF is important for sequencing.
Does Zephyrhills Municipal Airport have customs clearance onsite?
Zephyrhills Municipal Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is KLAL, located approximately 16.07 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from international origins need to plan a stop at KLAL, or another customs-equipped airport, before proceeding to KZPH. Because KZPH sits close to the Tampa metro area, roughly 26.79 nautical miles out, this detour adds minimal routing complexity for most flight plans originating from the south or east.
What fuel is available at KZPH?
Zephyrhills Municipal Airport stocks 100LL, Jet A, and Jet A+ fuel. Fuel is available H24 using a credit card, according to airport remarks, though after-hours fuel service has no attendant on site. The airport's staffed attendance schedule runs Monday through Saturday, 0800 to 1700, all months. Pilots planning fuel stops outside those hours at KZPH should rely on the self-service credit card system rather than expecting personnel support.
Are there special traffic pattern considerations at KZPH?
Zephyrhills Municipal Airport requires extra caution due to mixed-use operations. Glider operations occur at or below 6,000 feet from sunrise to sunset, and skydiving aircraft descend from 13,500 feet, entering an opposite traffic pattern for runway 1/19 east of the airport. Twin-engine aircraft fly a pattern altitude of 1,500 feet AGL. Extensive aircraft operations of all categories and types use runway 1/19, and the parallel taxiway is not available, so pilots at KZPH should expect a busy, mixed traffic environment.
