Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at KMPO outside attended hours?
Yes, KMPO offers 24-hour self-service 100LL fueling. Jet A is also listed among the field's fuel types, though the round-the-clock self-service arrangement applies to 100LL. The airport's staffed attendance schedule runs daily from 0700 to 1700 local time. Pilots arriving outside that window can still fuel with 100LL through the self-service pump. Dispatchers planning Jet A uplifts outside attended hours should confirm availability before arrival.
What runways does Pocono Mountains Regional Airport offer?
Pocono Mountains Regional Airport, KMPO, has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 13/31 is the longer of the two at 5,001 feet by 75 feet wide, matching the airport's listed maximum paved runway length. Runway 05/23 measures 3,999 feet by 100 feet wide, giving it a wider surface despite being shorter. Both runways carry lighting systems, including PAPI and REIL, activated via CTAF. Neither runway is listed with a weight restriction in the airport's data.
Are there noise or terrain considerations for departures from Runway 31 at KMPO?
Yes, KMPO publishes a specific VFR departure procedure for Runway 31. Pilots are instructed to fly heading 310 until crossing Interstate 380, then proceed on course while avoiding overflight of homes southwest of Runway 13-31. This procedure exists to route traffic away from a residential area near the runway. Dispatchers should brief this heading and course adjustment for any VFR departure planned off Runway 31 at Pocono Mountains Regional.
Where is the nearest customs facility to KMPO?
The nearest customs-capable airport to KMPO is Wilkes-Barre / Scranton International, located about 19.64 nautical miles away on a bearing of 308 degrees. KMPO itself does not have onsite customs processing according to the airport's data. Operators arriving from international origins need to route their customs clearance through Wilkes-Barre / Scranton or another designated facility. This distance should be factored into routing and timing for any international arrival planning at Pocono Mountains Regional.
Does KMPO see wildlife activity that affects operations?
Yes, Pocono Mountains Regional Airport reports birds, deer, and other wildlife both on the airport and in the vicinity. This is a standing operational remark rather than a seasonal or one-time notice. Flight crews operating at KMPO should maintain heightened vigilance during approach, landing, and ground movement phases. The remark applies broadly across the airfield and its surrounding area rather than to a single runway or time of day.
