Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at KMMV?
McMinnville Municipal Airport, KMMV, has no customs service onsite. The nearest customs-capable airport is KHIO, located approximately 22.28 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan their inbound clearance through that facility rather than at KMMV directly. Dispatchers should factor this detour into routing and timing when KMMV is the intended destination for a flight requiring customs processing.
What runways are available at McMinnville Municipal Airport?
McMinnville Municipal Airport, KMMV, has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 04/22 is the longer of the two at 5,420 feet by 100 feet wide, and it carries the airport's published max paved runway length. Runway 17/35 measures 4,340 feet by 75 feet wide. Both runways support fixed-wing training operations, including runway arrivals and departures from taxiways A and D, which are noted as frequent on and in the vicinity of the airport.
What lighting is available at KMMV for arrivals?
KMMV offers pilot-activated approach and runway lighting rather than continuous illumination. Runway 22 has an MALSR and a PAPI, both activated via CTAF. Runway 04 has a REIL, also CTAF-activated, along with a PAPI that operates continuously rather than on pilot activation. High intensity runway lights cover both ends of runway 04/22 and are likewise CTAF-controlled. Pilots should plan to key the CTAF frequency to bring up most of this lighting before arrival.
Are there wildlife or bird hazards reported at McMinnville Municipal Airport?
Yes, McMinnville Municipal Airport reports bird and wildlife activity as an ongoing operational concern. Migratory flocks of geese are noted specifically from October through May. Beyond birds, waterfowl, deer, and other wildlife may be present on and in the vicinity of the airport throughout the year, not just during the migratory season. Crews operating at KMMV, especially during low-visibility or dusk periods, should factor this year-round wildlife presence into their situational awareness on approach and departure.
Does KMMV have noise abatement procedures pilots should know about?
Yes, noise abatement procedures are in effect at McMinnville Municipal Airport, KMMV. Noise-sensitive areas border the airport to the north along Highway 18. Pilots are asked to avoid low-level flight and continuous overflights of residential areas surrounding the airport whenever possible. Nighttime touch-and-go operations are discouraged between 0600 and 1400Z, a window that dispatchers scheduling training or pattern work at KMMV should plan around.
