Private Aviation Briefing

KODX is the identifier for Evelyn Sharp Field, serving Ord at 2,070 ft MSL elevation. Operators, passengers, and dispatchers should note the following details for flight planning and charter operations.

U.S. General Aviation Context

Evelyn Sharp Field is part of the U.S. National Airspace System, regulated by the FAA. As a NE facility, the airport contributes to the regional transportation network connecting Ord to the broader aviation system. FAA Part 135 charter operators serve this airport, and The Jet Finder can source aircraft positioned near KODX for on-demand charter.

Runway Capability

At 4721 feet, Evelyn Sharp Field serves light jets and turboprops. The Citation CJ series, Phenom 100, HondaJet, and King Air family operate within this runway capability. Midsize jets require careful performance analysis based on temperature and aircraft weight. Pilots should reference aircraft-specific takeoff and landing distance charts for KODX's runway length and 2,070 ft MSL elevation.

Charter Considerations

Peak travel periods affect aircraft availability and pricing near Ord. Holiday weekends, major events, and seasonal migration patterns drive demand. Booking 7 to 14 days ahead of peak periods secures better aircraft selection and pricing from KODX. Last-minute charter is possible but typically costs 15 to 30% more due to limited positioning options.

What to Know Before You Fly

Weather at Evelyn Sharp Field affects scheduling reliability. IFR-equipped aircraft and instrument-rated crews fly in most weather conditions, but low ceilings, thunderstorms, and winter ice can delay departures. Flexible scheduling improves reliability. Morning departures generally encounter better weather than afternoon flights, particularly during convective season.

Safety & Planning

Instrument approach availability at Evelyn Sharp Field determines minimum weather for arrival. Airports with ILS approaches allow lower minimums than GPS-only fields. If KODX has limited approach options, weather alternate planning becomes critical. The Jet Finder identifies suitable alternate airports and factors this into flight planning for charter from Evelyn Sharp Field.

Airport Selection Strategy

Choosing Evelyn Sharp Field over a larger commercial hub near Ord often reduces total travel time. General aviation airports like KODX eliminate terminal congestion, commercial airline scheduling, and the 90-minute early arrival buffer. The net time savings on a typical trip can exceed three hours each direction.

Seasonal Factors

Seasonal demand patterns affect charter availability and pricing from Evelyn Sharp Field. Holiday periods (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break) see 40 to 60% price increases due to demand spikes. Summer leisure travel and winter ski season create directional imbalances that generate empty leg opportunities. Planning around these patterns saves significantly on charter from KODX.

Location & Address

Positioned at 41.6242° N, -98.9524° W in NE, Evelyn Sharp Field serves the broader Ord region. Compared to routing through a large hub, KODX cuts total door-to-door travel time to Ord significantly. Ground options include car service and rideshare.

Runways & Facilities

With 4,721 feet of runway, Evelyn Sharp Field supports all light jets and most midsize jets (Citation XLS, Learjet 45/60, Hawker 800). Super-midsize jets may operate under favorable weight and weather conditions. Heavy jets typically require longer fields.

Regional Aviation Context

Nebraska's flat terrain and sparse population create straightforward flying conditions. The state's GA airports primarily serve agricultural, ranching, and Omaha's business community.

Operational Considerations

Evelyn Sharp Field's 2,070-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 3,870 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 4,721-foot runway provides approximately 4,428 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Evelyn Sharp Field's temperate latitude produces generally favorable flying conditions with seasonal variation. Winter brings frontal passages that can drop ceilings to IFR minimums for 24-48 hour periods. Freezing precipitation is possible but less persistent than at higher latitudes. Summer convective activity peaks in late afternoon — morning departures typically encounter smoother, clearer conditions. Year-round instrument currency is recommended for reliable scheduling.

Two runways at Evelyn Sharp Field provide crosswind flexibility. When the primary runway's crosswind component exceeds aircraft limitations, the secondary runway typically offers a more favorable alignment. Runway selection should account for wind, obstacle clearance, and any published procedures.
