The secondary runway, 08/26, measures 5,001 feet by 75 feet and is asphalt. Runway 14/32 also carries an arresting device, a Type H BAK-12B(B) positioned at the 1,500-foot point. This length and the pavement classification data support a wide range of business and military aircraft operating at KLMT.
Is customs available at KLMT?
Customs, agricultural, and immigration services are not available at Crater Lake / Klamath Regional Airport (KLMT), according to the field remarks. The nearest customs facility is located at O33, approximately 138.76 nautical miles away. Operators planning international arrivals need to route through that facility or another customs point in advance. There is a separate Portland customs reference noted for the Air National Guard unit at KLMT, but that channel is not a general clearance option for civilian traffic.
When is KLMT staffed and what are the fuel options?
Crater Lake / Klamath Regional Airport (KLMT) has a published attendance schedule of all days, Monday through Friday, 0630 to 1700 local. Fuel available on the field includes 100LL, Jet A, and Jet A+ (A++). Outside the attended hours, the control tower is not staffed, and airfield lighting including MALSF on Runway 14, MALSR on Runway 32, and HIRL on 14/32 must be activated via CTAF or on frequency 257.8. REIL on Runway 26 and the PAPI / VASI systems operate continuously regardless of tower status.
What restrictions apply to military operations at KLMT?
Crater Lake / Klamath Regional Airport (KLMT) hosts an Air National Guard unit with several dedicated restrictions. Taxiway A west of Taxiway D, and Taxiway D between Taxiways E and F, are restricted to military operations only, as is the south run-up pad on Taxiway G. Heavy aircraft on the military ramp must shut down outboard engines before taxiing after landing, and ANG base operations run 1430-2359Z++ Monday through Friday except holidays on a prior-permission-required basis for official business. Classified material storage rated secret and below is also managed on site by the Air National Guard.
Are there approach or taxiway clearance limitations at KLMT?
Crater Lake / Klamath Regional Airport (KLMT) has two published approach slopes to displaced threshold, at 29:1 and 34:1, which are shallower than the 20:1 or 34:1 standards used for some approach categories, so crews should check current procedures for the applicable runway. The PAPI serving Runway 14 is unusable beyond 3.5 nautical miles. Separately, Taxiway B between Taxiway B1 and Taxiway B2 has a nonstandard wingtip-to-fixed-object clearance, and aircraft with a wingspan greater than 133 feet must minimize taxi speed through that segment.
