Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KCVO?
Corvallis Municipal Airport, KCVO, has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 17/35 is the primary strip at 5,900 feet long and 150 feet wide. Runway 10/28 is shorter and narrower, at 3,100 feet long and 75 feet wide. Both are usable for business aviation operations, though the longer runway 17/35 handles the majority of larger aircraft movements. Neither runway configuration is towered, so pilots operate under CTAF procedures at KCVO.
Is KCVO a towered airport?
KCVO, Corvallis Municipal Airport, is non-towered. Pilots coordinate arrivals and departures using CTAF rather than a control tower. Lighting activation for the runway lighting systems, including HIRL on 17/35 and MIRL on 10/28, is pilot-controlled through CTAF between sunset and sunrise. Approach control for IFR operations is handled by Cascade Approach, with Seattle ARTCC as backup when approach control is closed. Dispatchers should plan for pilot self-announcement procedures given the absence of a tower at this airport.
What fuel is available at Corvallis Municipal Airport?
Corvallis Municipal Airport, KCVO, stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel. The field attendance schedule runs all days of the week from 0800 until dusk. Business aviation operators can expect fuel service availability aligned with this attendance window rather than around the clock. Flight planning should account for the dusk cutoff, particularly during shorter daylight months, since fuel service ties to the field's staffed hours rather than a continuous schedule.
How does business aviation traffic vary by month at KCVO?
Business aviation traffic at KCVO, Corvallis Municipal Airport, shows a concentration toward the later months of the year according to FAA TFMSC data. November posts the highest monthly count at 151 operations, followed by October at 136 and June at 134. February is the lowest month at 98 operations. The pattern reflects a seasonal skew rather than flat year-round demand, which matters for scheduling and slot planning at this airport.
Where is the nearest customs facility for international arrivals at KCVO?
Corvallis Municipal Airport, KCVO, has no onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is at KHIO, located approximately 64.38 nautical miles away. International arrivals into KCVO must clear customs at that facility rather than at Corvallis directly. Dispatchers planning international itineraries through KCVO should route the customs clearance leg through KHIO ahead of or in conjunction with the final destination stop.
