This is separate from the airport's staffed attendance schedule, which runs Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1600.

How does customs clearance work for arrivals at KCVK?
Sharp County Regional (KCVK) does not have on-site customs processing. The nearest customs-capable airport is Little Rock (KLIT), located approximately 97.7 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance should plan to route through KLIT rather than expecting service directly at KCVK.
How is runway lighting activated at KCVK?
