Frequently asked questions
What runway length is available at KMTN?
Martin State Airport, KMTN, operates a single primary runway, 15/33, measuring 6,999 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface. A secondary helipad surface, H1, is also listed at 60 by 60 feet on concrete. The airport also reports 8,100 feet available for takeoff on runway 15 and landing on runway 33, but that extended distance is restricted to military aircraft only. Civilian dispatchers planning runway performance should reference the standard 6,999-foot length for 15/33.
Is customs available at KMTN?
Yes, Martin State Airport, KMTN, has CBP inspection services available onsite along with a USDA compliance agreement. This places customs processing directly at the field rather than requiring a diversion to a nearby port of entry. Crews arriving from international origins should still coordinate clearance in advance per standard CBP procedures. No nearest alternate customs airport is listed in the data, consistent with onsite service being the primary option at this location.
What are the fuel options at Martin State Airport?
Martin State Airport, KMTN, stocks both 100LL and A+ fuel, and Jet A is also confirmed available. The 100LL is offered through a 24-hour self-serve station accessible with a credit card. Helicopters are not authorized to access the 100LL self-service station under their own power, so rotor-wing operators need an alternate arrangement for that grade. Jet A availability is separately confirmed for turbine traffic at this field.
Does KMTN see seasonal traffic swings?
Martin State Airport, KMTN, shows business aviation traffic concentrated in the warmer months, with May and July posting the highest monthly operation counts among the 2025 figures reported by FAA TFMSC. February recorded the lowest monthly count of the year. This pattern indicates a moderate seasonal skew toward spring and summer rather than flat monthly demand. Dispatchers planning midweek or offseason arrivals may find comparatively lighter ramp activity outside the peak months.
Are there weight or activity restrictions for touch-and-go traffic at Martin State Airport?
Martin State Airport, KMTN, requires prior permission for practice takeoffs and landings by aircraft weighing more than 12,500 pounds. This applies specifically to touch-and-go and pattern work rather than normal arrivals and departures. Separately, when the airport traffic control tower is closed, practice landings and instrument approaches are not permitted under the noise abatement procedures in effect at the field. Operators planning training flights should account for both the weight-based PPR requirement and the tower-hours restriction.
