Airport notes

Surface conditions, obstructions, local procedures, lighting outages and other notes published with each FAA cycle.

General notes

  • Aircraft departing south-southwestbound should be aware of high traffic volume descending to 16,000 feet over SPANE intersection.Show FAA
  • Birds are on and in the vicinity of the airport.Show FAA
  • Preferred calm wind runway is 22.Show FAA
  • Expect FBO fees such as facility charges and tie down fees. These fees are separate in addition to airport landing fees.Show FAA
  • Radio transmissions on the surface may not be received at the opposite end of the runway. Communication interference from terrain in the vicinity of the airport requires departing aircraft to transmit at the start of taxi and departing runway, parallel taxiway heading to departing runway, and line up for departure.Show FAA
  • This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 16 degrees Celsius.Show FAA
  • For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.Show FAA
  • Balloon activity is on and in the vicinity of the airport.Show FAA
  • Small aircraft parking is located southwest of the fuel farm.Show FAA
  • Snow removal is conducted from November through April.Show FAA
  • Glider activity is on and in the vicinity of the airport.Show FAA

Lighting notes

  • Activate the precision approach path indicator for runway 22 and medium intensity runway lights for runways 4 and 22 on the common traffic advisory frequency.Show FAA

Approach & departure obstructions

  • 22The precision approach path indicator is unusable beyond 3.5 nautical miles from the threshold and beyond 6 degrees left and right of the centerline.Show FAA

Heber Valley Airport (KHCR) sits in Heber, Utah at 5,636.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 04/22, which is 6,898 ft long. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is a cold temperature field. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 16 degrees Celsius. That matters here because the field elevation is already high.

OK3 Air is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Published remarks also note birds, balloon activity and glider activity in the area. South-southwest departures should watch for traffic descending to 16,000 ft over the SPANE intersection. The calm wind runway is 22. Precision approach path indicator lighting for runway 22 and medium intensity runway lights for runways 4 and 22 are activated on CTAF. Small aircraft parking is southwest of the fuel farm. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. Check the current Chart Supplement for any landing fee details before arrival.

Frequently asked questions

What is the runway length at KHCR and is it long enough for a light jet?
KHCR has one runway, 04/22, at 6,898 ft. That gives a lot more room than a short strip. Performance still depends on weight, temperature, elevation and runway condition.
What is the field elevation at Heber Valley Airport?
The field elevation is 5,636.8 ft MSL. That elevation can matter a lot for takeoff roll and climb. It matters even more on warm days.
Is there a tower at KHCR?
No. KHCR is not towered. Use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic calls. Monitor the pattern closely.
Does KHCR have any ILS approaches?
No ILS approaches are published for KHCR. Check the current Chart Supplement for the latest approach data before you go.
What is the pattern altitude at KHCR?
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts provided. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Which FBO is on the field at KHCR?
OK3 Air is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (435) 654-3962 for current services and ramp details.
What runway should I expect to use in calm winds at KHCR?
The published calm wind runway is 22. That matches the remarks. It also matches the lighting note for runway 22.
Are there any operational cautions for flying into KHCR?
Yes. The airport is a cold temperature field, so altitude correction is required at or below minus 16 degrees Celsius. Published remarks also call out birds, balloon activity, glider activity and descending traffic over the SPANE intersection for south-southwest departures.
