The airport is towered. The control tower is open 0545-2330. KFNT has 2 ILS approaches. Both are to runway ends 09 and 27. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Avflight Flint is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you need fuel after hours, the remarks say 100LL is available self-serve at Golf Tees. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Great Lakes Approach. When approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. The remarks also note birds and deer in and around the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and final. Runway 18 has a published PAPI limitation left of centerline. Runway 18/36 and 09/27 both have published pavement strength data. Heavier aircraft should verify suitability before arrival. With two long asphalt runways and Class C frequencies in use, this is a busy airport. Get the current Chart Supplement and brief the tower and approach procedures before you go.
