Frequently asked questions
Is there customs clearance available at KCKB?
North Central West Virginia Airport (KCKB) has no onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is at KPIT, located 71.67 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan their clearance stop accordingly, since no CBP presence exists at Clarksburg itself. Dispatchers should coordinate with KPIT or another customs-equipped airport ahead of any international leg terminating at KCKB. Ground handling at CKB itself is limited to domestic arrivals under this arrangement.
What runway does KCKB offer for business aviation traffic?
KCKB's primary runway is 03/21, a 7,800-foot by 150-foot asphalt surface capable of handling business jet traffic. A second surface, H1, is a 50-foot by 50-foot concrete helipad rather than a fixed-wing runway. The main runway's length and width give it capacity for a wide range of turbine equipment operating into North Central West Virginia Airport. Pilots should note the controlling obstruction slope near the displaced threshold on Runway 03, reported at 29:1.
Is fuel available at all hours at KCKB?
Fuel at North Central West Virginia Airport is not available between 2300 and 0500 local time. Both 100LL and Jet A are stocked at the field, per the airport's fuel type data. Outside that overnight window, fuel service operates within the facility's attended schedule, which runs daily from 0700 to 2300. Flights planning arrivals or fuel stops during the overnight gap should arrange fueling before or after that period. This restriction applies specifically to the after-hours window rather than to daytime operations at CKB.
Are there any known wildlife hazards reported at KCKB?
Yes, deer and birds have been reported on and in the vicinity of North Central West Virginia Airport, according to the field's general remarks. This hazard applies to the airport environment as a whole rather than to a specific runway or taxiway. Crews operating into KCKB, particularly during low-visibility or nighttime approaches, should factor this wildlife activity into their situational awareness. No specific runway or time restriction is tied to this remark, so caution applies across normal operating hours.
When does business aviation traffic peak at KCKB?
Business aviation traffic at North Central West Virginia Airport (KCKB) is concentrated in certain months, with February, June, and July showing the highest operations counts among the reported months in 2025 FAA TFMSC data. February recorded 281 business aviation operations and July recorded 299, both notably higher than the January low of 148 operations. This pattern reflects a seasonal concentration rather than steady traffic through the year. Dispatchers planning slots or ramp space at KCKB should account for this uneven monthly distribution.
