Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length at KMTV?
Blue Ridge Airport, identifier KMTV, has a single paved runway, 13/31, measuring 6,077 feet long and 100 feet wide. The surface is asphalt. This length supports most business jet operations without special payload restrictions under normal conditions. The airport sits at an elevation of 948 feet in Martinsville, Virginia. Runway 13/31 is the only landing surface at the field, so all traffic uses this strip regardless of wind direction.
Is fuel available at Blue Ridge Airport (KMTV)?
Blue Ridge Airport, KMTV, stocks both 100LL and A+ fuel grades, and Jet A is also available on the field. The attendance schedule runs daily from 0800 to 1700 local time. Outside these posted hours, pilots should not assume fuel service is staffed. Dispatchers planning flights into KMTV should confirm timing against this window, since the field is non-towered and has no separate customs presence on site.
Does KMTV have on-site customs clearance?
Blue Ridge Airport does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs-capable airport is KINT, located approximately 31.44 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance arriving at KMTV would need to route through KINT or another designated port of entry beforehand or as part of routing coordination. For clearance delivery, the remarks indicate contacting Greensboro Approach rather than a local tower, since KMTV is non-towered.
What lighting is available at Blue Ridge Airport for night operations?
Blue Ridge Airport, KMTV, offers pilot-controlled lighting activated over the common traffic advisory frequency. Runway 13 and Runway 31 both have REIL, and Runway 31 has ODALS. Both runway ends are equipped with PAPI visual glideslope indicators, and medium intensity runway lighting covers the full 13/31 strip. Because the field is non-towered, pilots activate this lighting themselves via CTAF rather than through a control tower.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at KMTV?
Business aviation traffic at Blue Ridge Airport, KMTV, is not evenly distributed across the year according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. October recorded the highest monthly figure at 138 operations, followed by August at 108 and March at 105. January is the lowest month, with 46 operations. Dispatchers scheduling flights in the fall months, particularly October, should anticipate a higher volume of business aviation activity at this field compared to winter months.
