Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KMBO?
Bruce Campbell Field, identified as KMBO, has a single asphalt runway, 17/35, measuring 4,444 feet long and 75 feet wide. This is the only paved surface at the airport, so all fixed-wing traffic uses this runway regardless of wind. Operators sizing aircraft for this field should plan around that single-runway constraint.
Is there fuel available at KMBO?
Bruce Campbell Field stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel, making it usable for piston and turbine business aircraft. The field is attended Monday through Friday from 0600 to 1900 and on weekends from 0700 to 1700. Operators arriving outside those windows should account for the lack of attendant coverage when planning fuel needs.
Does KMBO have customs processing onsite?
Bruce Campbell Field does not list onsite customs processing in its operational data. The nearest customs-equipped airport is KJAN, located approximately 7.78 nautical miles away. Operators requiring international clearance should route through that facility rather than expecting service at KMBO itself.
Is the PAPI available at KMBO?
The PAPI at Bruce Campbell Field (KMBO) is reported out of service indefinitely on runways 17 and 35. Runway edge lighting, MIRL, remains pilot-controlled through CTAF. Crews planning night or low-visibility approaches should not rely on visual glideslope guidance at this field until further notice is published.
