Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length available at KCKV / Outlaw Field?
Outlaw Field (KCKV) has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 17/35 is the longer of the two at 5,999 feet, with a width of 100 feet. Runway 05/23 measures 4,004 feet, also 100 feet wide. Neither runway has a load-bearing rating listed in the airport data, so operators should confirm weight limits directly. The 5,999-foot runway supports the bulk of business aviation traffic recorded at this field.
Is fuel available at KCKV, and what types?
Outlaw Field (KCKV) offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel, with the Jet A grade specified as A+. Fuel service aligns with the field's published attendance schedule rather than a separate standalone schedule. There is no tower at KCKV, so fuel coordination during attended hours typically runs through the airport's ground personnel or CTAF. Operators arriving outside posted attendance hours should plan fuel needs accordingly, since availability outside those windows is not guaranteed.
Does KCKV have customs clearance on site?
Outlaw Field (KCKV) does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs facility is at KHOP, located approximately 4.81 nautical miles away. Aircraft requiring customs clearance arriving in the Clarksville, Tennessee area should plan to route through KHOP or coordinate clearance in advance. This distance is short enough that it factors into routing decisions for international arrivals using KCKV as a destination airport.
What is the attendance schedule at Outlaw Field?
Outlaw Field (KCKV) is attended Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1800 local time, and Saturday through Sunday from 0800 to 1600 local time. KCKV is a non-towered field, so this attendance schedule reflects ground personnel availability rather than air traffic control hours. Pilots operating outside these windows should expect an unattended field and plan communications and services accordingly. The schedule applies to all airport services covered under this attendance block.
What obstacles or approach hazards are noted near KCKV runways?
Outlaw Field (KCKV) has several charted obstruction and approach notes pilots should review before arrival. A fence is located 100 feet from a runway end, and approach ratios to displaced thresholds are documented at 12:1 and 19:1 on different runway ends. The PAPI on runway 17 is unusable beyond 9 degrees right of centerline. Runway markings at KCKV are also noted as peeling and faded, which can affect visual reference during landing.
