Frequently asked questions
Is there customs available at KERV?
Kerrville Municipal / Louis Schreiner Field does not have customs on site. The nearest customs facility is at KSAT, located approximately 41.7 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to route through that airport or another designated port of entry beforehand. This distance should factor into routing and fuel planning for international arrivals. Dispatchers should confirm current customs procedures directly with KSAT ahead of any flight requiring clearance.
What runways are available at Kerrville Municipal / Louis Schreiner Field?
KERV has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 12/30 is the longer of the two at 6,004 feet by 100 feet wide, making it the primary runway for business aviation traffic. Runway 03/21 measures 3,597 feet by 58 feet, offering a shorter crosswind option. Runway 12 is designated as the calm wind runway. Both runways are equipped with medium intensity runway lighting available from dusk to dawn.
What is the lighting setup at KERV?
Kerrville Municipal / Louis Schreiner Field operates runway lighting from dusk to dawn. Medium intensity runway lights on both Runway 12/30 and Runway 03/21 are preset to low intensity by default. Pilots can increase lighting intensity and activate runway end identifier lights on Runway 12 and Runway 30 using the common traffic advisory frequency. There is no control tower on the field, so lighting control depends on pilot-activated CTAF input rather than tower coordination.
What is the approach obstruction clearance situation at KERV?
An approach slope of 41:1 applies to the displaced threshold at Kerrville Municipal / Louis Schreiner Field. This clearance slope defines the required obstruction-free gradient for aircraft on approach to that displaced threshold. Crews planning arrivals should account for this slope figure during approach planning and briefing. No further obstruction detail beyond this slope ratio is noted for the field. This applies specifically to the runway with the displaced threshold rather than to all runway ends at the airport.
How busy is business aviation traffic at KERV throughout the year?
Kerrville Municipal / Louis Schreiner Field recorded 3,148 business aviation operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, out of 4,976 total annual operations. Traffic is concentrated with a clear peak in July, which saw 439 business aviation operations, well above the monthly average across the rest of the year. Other months generally ranged between roughly 200 and 280 operations. Dispatchers scheduling around KERV should expect the airport to see its highest business aviation demand during that summer peak month.
