Operating constraints
Livermore Municipal has published operating constraints in five categories: access, runway notes, noise procedures, environmental and other notes.
For clearance delivery when the tower is closed, contact NorCal Approach.
Lighting is under ATC control. When the tower is closed, activate the MALSR for runway 25R and the taxiway lights on frequency 118.1. The HIRL on runway 07L/25R operates at low intensity; activate 118.1 to increase intensity. The MIRL on runway 07R/25L operates at low intensity and is not available when the tower is closed. The PAPI for runway 07L and 25R operate continuously.
Runway edge lighting at low and medium intensity levels is difficult to see from the downwind leg of the traffic pattern.
A 6-foot fence is located 180 feet from the runway end and 400 feet left of the extended centerline.
The effective runway gradient is 0.52 percent up on runway 07L and 0.59 percent up on runway 07R.
Do not mistake the parallel taxiway north of runway 25R/07L for the runway. Noise-sensitive areas lie three-quarters of a mile east and two miles west of the airport.
Pilots should be alert to considerable bird activity on and in the vicinity of the airport.
Pilots are asked to observe the voluntary restraint from night flying policy between 2200 and 0600 local.

Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KLVK Livermore Municipal Airport?
KLVK Livermore Municipal Airport operates two paved runways for fixed-wing traffic. Runway 07L/25R is the primary runway at 5,253 feet long and 100 feet wide, surfaced in asphalt. Runway 07R/25L is shorter, at 2,699 feet long and 75 feet wide, also asphalt. Both runways carry an effective gradient noted in airport remarks, with 07L rising 0.52 percent and 07R rising 0.59 percent along their length. The airport also lists a short helipad surface identified as H1.
Is fuel available at Livermore Municipal Airport?
Livermore Municipal Airport, KLVK, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel on the field. The airport is towered and keeps a published attendance schedule of 0730 to 1700 local Monday through Friday, and 0700 to 1100 local on weekends. Dispatchers should plan fuel uplift and any ground support requests around those attended hours. Outside the listed windows, tower-dependent services such as high-intensity runway lighting adjustments are not available in the same way, since some lighting functions depend on ATC control status.
How busy is Livermore Municipal Airport for business aviation traffic?
Livermore Municipal Airport recorded 7,591 total annual operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with 4,627 of those classified as business aviation operations. That puts the field at ops tier 1 within Skystar's classification. Monthly bizav counts ranged from a low of 307 operations in July to a high of 464 in December, with October and November also running above 440. Traffic at KLVK is concentrated toward the fourth quarter of the year relative to the summer months.
What obstacles or lighting limitations should pilots know about at KLVK?
KLVK Livermore Municipal Airport reports a 6-foot fence located 180 feet from the runway end and 400 feet left of the extended centerline, a close-in obstruction relevant to approach and departure planning. Runway edge lighting is also flagged as difficult to see at low and medium intensity settings when viewed from the downwind leg of the traffic pattern. High-intensity runway lights on 07L/25R operate at low intensity by default and can be increased by pilot activation on frequency 118.1. Medium-intensity lights on 07R/25L are not available when the tower is closed.
Does Livermore Municipal Airport have any noise or wildlife considerations for arriving traffic?
Livermore Municipal Airport, KLVK, sits near noise-sensitive areas located three-quarters of a mile east and two miles west of the field, and the airport asks pilots to observe a voluntary restraint from night flying between 2200 and 0600 local. Bird activity is also reported as considerable on and around the airport, warranting extra vigilance during approach and departure phases. Pilots should also take care not to mistake the parallel taxiway north of runway 25R/07L for the runway itself, a distinction the airport specifically calls out in its remarks.
