Custer County Airport (KCUT) is a small public-use general aviation field in the Black Hills of South Dakota, sitting some 2 miles southwest of the town of Custer. Its single asphalt runway and high mountain elevation make density altitude a key planning consideration for visiting pilots.
Custer County Airport is a public-use general aviation airport serving the town of Custer, South Dakota, in the Black Hills region. It is a straightforward single-runway field, notable to simulator pilots chiefly for its high elevation and mountain-airport character, which brings density altitude effects into play, especially on warm days.
The airport lies about 2 miles southwest of Custer, South Dakota, in the Black Hills. It sits at a high elevation of 5,584 feet, giving it the character of a mountain airport within a broadly rural, uncontrolled airspace environment typical of small South Dakota fields.
KCUT has a single physical runway, 08/26, 5,460 feet long with a hard surface, and lit for night operations.
The field is served by an ASOS on 120 MHz, and traffic uses UNICOM/CTAF on 122.8 MHz. There is no ILS at the airport.
The airport is located approximately 2 miles southwest of the town of Custer, which serves as the principal visual reference point for pilots approaching the field.
Custer County Airport opened on 9 January 1969. It occupies an 86-acre site and has historically operated with a single paved runway.
Custer County Airport is described as a mountain airport sitting at around 5,600 feet above mean sea level, with pilots advised that density altitude can be a concern on warm days. The airport supports general aviation operations in the Custer, South Dakota area.
