Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KAPC?
Napa County Airport, KAPC, has three paved runways. Runway 01L/19R is the longest at 5,930 feet, with an asphalt surface and a width of 150 feet. Runway 06/24 is a concrete surface measuring 5,008 feet by 150 feet. The third, 01R/19L, is asphalt and considerably narrower and shorter, at 2,510 feet by 75 feet, making it better suited to lighter traffic than the other two.
Is Jet A fuel available at Napa County Airport?
Yes, Napa County Airport carries both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Fuel service hours are published as 2100-0600, so dispatchers should plan around that window when scheduling uplifts outside standard daytime operations. The field also has a published attendance schedule of 0700-2000 daily. KAPC is a towered airport, and coordination with tower or CTAF frequencies is advised depending on the time of day and tower status.
Does KAPC have customs clearance onsite?
Napa County Airport does not have customs processing onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KSUU, located approximately 17.09 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance should plan to route through that facility rather than expecting service directly at KAPC. This distance is worth factoring into arrival planning for any international or customs-required itinerary touching down at Napa County.
What is the weight limit on taxiways and aprons at KAPC?
At Napa County Airport, the asphalt taxiways are rated for 30,000 pounds gross weight on a single wheel configuration. The asphalt aprons carry a broader range, rated between 12,500 and 30,000 pounds gross weight, also single wheel. Operators of heavier aircraft should account for these pavement strength limits when planning ground movements at KAPC. These figures apply specifically to taxiways and aprons, not to the runway pavement itself.
How busy is Napa County Airport and when is traffic highest?
Napa County Airport, KAPC, recorded 14,772 total annual operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, with 12,003 of those business aviation operations. Traffic is not evenly distributed through the year. Business aviation activity climbs noticeably from May through November, with October posting the highest monthly count at 1,367 operations, compared to lows near 648 in February. Dispatchers planning trips into the airport during the fall season should expect comparatively higher traffic volumes.
