Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KCJR?
Culpeper Regional Airport, identified as KCJR, has a single asphalt runway designated 04/22 that measures 5,000 feet long and 100 feet wide. This paved surface is also the airport's longest runway, matching the 5,000-foot figure listed for maximum paved length. The airport does not have a tower, so arriving and departing traffic operates under non-towered procedures on this one strip. Dispatchers planning business turbine or piston traffic should confirm performance numbers against this single-runway configuration, since no crosswind alternative exists on field.
Is fuel available at Culpeper Regional Airport?
Culpeper Regional Airport stocks both 100LL and A+ fuel, and Jet A is also available on field. Fuel service and general airport attendance follow a published schedule of 0800 to 1800 local, every day of the week. Outside these hours, a call-out service exists for after-hours support, though fees apply for that service according to airport remarks. Crews planning arrivals near the edges of the attendance window at KCJR should factor in the call-out arrangement rather than assuming standard staffed hours.
Does KCJR have customs clearance on site?
Culpeper Regional Airport does not have customs processing on site. The nearest customs-equipped airport is KHEF, located approximately 19.98 nautical miles away. Flights requiring federal inspection on arrival into the Culpeper area need to route through KHEF or another customs-designated facility instead of clearing directly at KCJR. Dispatchers building international itineraries into this part of Virginia should plan the customs leg as a separate stop rather than assuming on-site clearance at Culpeper Regional.
What lighting is available at Culpeper Regional Airport?
Culpeper Regional Airport, KCJR, provides pilot-activated lighting rather than continuously lit runway systems. Runway end identifier lights are available on both Runway 04 and Runway 22, and precision approach path indicators cover both of those same runway ends. Medium intensity runway lighting serves the full 04/22 runway, and taxiway lighting is also included in the activation setup. All of these systems are activated via CTAF, which is the standard method at this non-towered field.
How does business aviation traffic vary by month at KCJR?
Business aviation traffic at Culpeper Regional Airport, KCJR, shows clear month-to-month variation based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025. November recorded the highest monthly count at 84 operations, while January was the lowest at 37. June also saw a notable peak at 78 operations, compared to quieter months like May at 44 and December at 39. Total annual business aviation operations at the airport reached 684 out of 1,303 overall operations for the year, indicating that business traffic makes up more than half of total field activity.
