U.S. General Aviation Context

General Dick Stout Field is part of the U.S. National Airspace System, regulated by the FAA.

Runway Capability

General Dick Stout Field's 3410-foot runway limits operations to piston aircraft, light turboprops, and select short-field-capable jets. The Pilatus PC-12 (2,600 ft required), Cessna Caravan, and King Air C90 are among the turbine aircraft that can use fields of this length. Charter passengers should coordinate with The Jet Finder to identify aircraft types suited to K1L8's runway.

Charter Considerations

Peak travel periods affect aircraft availability and pricing near Hurricane. 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 K1L8. 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 General Dick Stout 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 General Dick Stout Field determines minimum weather for arrival. Airports with ILS approaches allow lower minimums than GPS-only fields. If K1L8 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 General Dick Stout Field.

Airport Selection Strategy

Choosing General Dick Stout Field over a larger commercial hub near Hurricane often reduces total travel time. General aviation airports like K1L8 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 General Dick Stout 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 K1L8.

Location & Address

General Dick Stout Field is positioned at coordinates 37.1389° N, -113.3060° W, at 3,347 feet above mean sea level. Ground transportation from K1L8 to Hurricane proper is typically a short drive. Private aviation eliminates the hours that commercial airport processing adds to your trip.

Runways & Facilities

The 3,410-foot runway at General Dick Stout Field supports piston aircraft, turboprops, and very light jets (VLJs) under favorable conditions. Light jet operators should verify takeoff and landing performance against current density altitude and weight. Midsize jets typically require a longer field.

FBOs & Ground Services

General Dick Stout Field offers ground handling through its on-airport service provider. Fuel availability, hangar space, and passenger amenities should be confirmed prior to arrival. The Hurricane area may have limited FBO options compared to larger metropolitan airports.

Regional Aviation Context

Utah's mountainous terrain and high-elevation airports require mountain flying proficiency. Salt Lake City's Class B airspace and the Wasatch Front create terrain-induced turbulence.

Operational Considerations

At 3,347 feet MSL, General Dick Stout Field operates at moderate elevation. Standard-day density altitude matches field elevation, but summer temperatures can push it above 5,147 feet. The 3,410-foot runway delivers approximately 3,068 feet of sea-level equivalent performance after altitude correction. Pilots transitioning from sea-level airports should plan for longer ground rolls and reduced initial climb performance at General Dick Stout Field.

General Dick Stout 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.
