Frequently asked questions
What is the runway configuration at KCMA?
Camarillo Airport, KCMA, operates a single paved runway, 08/26, measuring 6,013 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt-concrete surface. This length accommodates most business jets and turboprops calling on Ventura County. Two helicopter pads, H1 and H2, are also listed with concrete surfaces, though each measures only 34 by 34 feet. Helicopter training operations are noted north of Taxiway B and runway 08/26. There is no crosswind runway, so pilots should plan around 08/26 orientation for prevailing wind conditions.
Does KCMA have a weight restriction for arriving aircraft?
Yes, Camarillo Airport restricts operations to aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight below 115,000 pounds on dual wheel gear. Dispatchers planning heavier dual-gear aircraft should route elsewhere, as this cap applies regardless of runway length available. The airport's single runway, 08/26, spans 6,013 feet, which supports the weight-restricted traffic mix expected under this limit. This restriction should be factored into aircraft selection before filing any flight plan into KCMA.
Is there a noise curfew at Camarillo Airport?
Camarillo Airport enforces a noise ordinance curfew prohibiting all takeoffs between 0000 and 0500 local time. Exceptions apply to military, government, mercy flights, and emergency response aircraft. The airport is also designated an extreme noise sensitive area, with additional guidance asking jet and turbine aircraft to avoid flights between 10pm and 6am local to reduce noise over the surrounding community. Pilots are further asked to avoid overflight of residential communities east and north of the field when possible. Arrivals should favor Runway 8 when the tower is closed, per published noise abatement guidance.
Where is customs clearance available for aircraft arriving at KCMA?
Camarillo Airport, KCMA, does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is at Van Nuys Airport, KVNY, located approximately 30 nautical miles east. Crews requiring customs clearance need to route through KVNY or another designated port of entry before or after operating at Camarillo. This distance should be factored into routing and timing for any international arrival requiring inspection prior to reaching KCMA.
What fuel is available at Camarillo Airport?
Camarillo Airport, KCMA, offers both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel. Fuel is available 24 hours through self-serve pumps, according to airport remarks. The field is towered and attended daily from 0700 to 2300 local time. Business aviation traffic at KCMA has run fairly consistent through 2025, with monthly operations ranging from roughly 917 to 1,190 according to FAA TFMSC data, supporting steady fuel demand across the year.
