Huntsville International, Carl T Jones Field, serves Huntsville, Alabama, with a pair of long, ILS-equipped concrete runways capable of handling the widebody freighters and airliners that operate there. Sitting inside Class C airspace, it offers a full suite of approach, tower and ground frequencies for arriving VFR traffic, along with 24-hour customs and landing rights.
Huntsville International, Carl T Jones Field (KHSV) is a medium-sized commercial and cargo airport serving Huntsville, Alabama. It combines two very long hard-surfaced runways, full ILS coverage on both, and Class C controlled airspace, making it a straightforward but procedurally structured destination for a simulator pilot flying light aircraft into a busy commercial field.
KHSV lies within Class C airspace, meaning two-way radio contact with approach control must be established before entering the surrounding airspace. The field is tagged as a customs and landing-rights airport, reflecting its status as an international point of entry. It sits near the city of Huntsville in northern Alabama.
KHSV has two parallel hard-surfaced runway pairs. The longer pair, 18R/36L, is 12,597 feet long, lit, and served by ILS in both directions. The second pair, 18L/36R, is also lit and ILS-equipped, with 18L measuring 10,003 feet and 36R measuring 9,795 feet.
Approach and departure control operate on 118.05 MHz. The ATIS broadcasts on 121.25 MHz. Clearance delivery is on 120.35 MHz. The common traffic advisory frequency and tower are both on 127.6 MHz, with ground control on 121.9 MHz. A radio outlet (RDO) frequency of 122.2 MHz is also listed, and UNICOM operates on 122.95 MHz. Both runway pairs are equipped with ILS approaches.
As Class C airspace, arriving aircraft must establish two-way radio contact with Huntsville approach before entering the airspace, and should expect sequencing and vectoring instructions from approach and tower given the mix of airline, cargo and general aviation traffic.
KHSV functions as a customs and landing-rights airport handling scheduled airline and cargo traffic alongside general aviation movements, supported by a full set of ATC and approach services befitting its Class C status.
