Frequently asked questions
What kind of traffic does O59 see at Cedarville airport?
Cedarville Airport (O59) recorded 30 total annual operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with 28 of those flights classified as business aviation. This places the field in a low-volume tier, with activity spread unevenly across the year. Dispatchers should expect a quiet, single-runway general aviation field rather than a facility with regular scheduled movements.
What is the runway configuration at Cedarville Airport?
Cedarville Airport has one paved runway, 02/20, measuring 4,415 feet long and 50 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This single strip serves as the only paved landing option at the field. There is no indication of a control tower, so operations are conducted uncontrolled with traffic self-announced on frequency.
Is there an air traffic control tower at O59?
Cedarville Airport (O59) is not towered, meaning arriving and departing aircraft coordinate movement without a local control tower. Runway lighting on 02/20 is pilot-activated through CTAF rather than continuously operated. Clearance delivery, when needed, is handled by Seattle ARTCC rather than an on-field facility.
Where is the nearest customs facility to Cedarville Airport?
The nearest customs-capable airport to Cedarville Airport (O59) is Reno-Tahoe International (KRNO), located approximately 124.68 nautical miles away. Cedarville itself has no onsite customs processing. Operators requiring customs clearance in this region should plan routing through KRNO or another designated facility accordingly.
