Frequently asked questions
What fuel is available at KMFV?
Accomack County Airport offers self-serve 100LL and Jet A fuel, both available 24 hours a day. This makes KMFV a viable stop for both piston and turbine operators outside the airport's staffed attendance hours. No fuel attendant is required to access either grade, which supports flexible arrival planning for business aviation traffic on the Eastern Shore.
Is Accomack County Airport towered?
Accomack County Airport (KMFV) is a non-towered public-use field, so pilots self-announce and coordinate on CTAF for both arrivals and departures. Runway lighting on 03/21 is preset to low intensity and pilots can increase intensity and activate the REIL lights for runways 03 and 21 via CTAF. Crews should monitor the frequency closely given the lack of tower separation services.
How does KMFV handle customs clearance for international arrivals?
Accomack County Airport has no customs facility onsite, so international arrivals clear through Patuxent Approach, or Potomac Approach when Patuxent is closed. The nearest staffed customs airport is Newport News / Williamsburg International (KPHF), located about 46.6 nautical miles away. Operators should coordinate clearance procedures with the appropriate approach facility ahead of arrival.
What is the runway length at KMFV?
Accomack County Airport's single runway, 03/21, is a 5,000-foot by 100-foot asphalt surface, matching the airport's maximum paved runway length. This is the only paved runway serving the field, so all fixed-wing traffic operates from this strip. The length supports a range of business aviation aircraft typical of the airport's annual traffic mix.
