Frequently asked questions
What runway options are available at Navasota Municipal (60R)?
Navasota Municipal, identified locally as 60R, has a single runway, 17/35, which is 5,003 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only paved runway serving the field, and its length matches the airport's listed maximum paved runway distance. There is no crosswind runway option, so aircraft must plan around wind conditions favoring the 17/35 alignment. The runway is equipped with PAPI on both ends and MIRL lighting.
Is fuel available at 60R?
Navasota Municipal offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel, according to airport data. The field is unattended, meaning there is no staffed FBO presence, so pilots and dispatchers should plan fuel purchases with that in mind. No fuel hours or service windows are specified beyond the general UNATNDD attendance status. Aircraft operators should coordinate fuel needs in advance given the lack of on-site personnel.
How does an operator handle customs clearance near Navasota Municipal?
Navasota Municipal, or 60R, has no customs facility on site. The nearest customs service is located at KCXO, approximately 36 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs processing must route through that facility rather than clearing directly at Navasota. This distance should factor into trip planning for any international arrival requiring customs before or after a stop at 60R.
What obstacles should pilots be aware of near the runway at KCXO's neighbor, Navasota Municipal?
Navasota Municipal has marked power lines near its runway that pilots should note. A 16-foot marked power line sits near runway 17, 1,300 feet from the runway. A separate 50-foot power line is located 2,500 feet away. Both are documented as general remarks for the field, and pilots should factor these into approach and departure planning at 60R.
How should IFR flight plans be cancelled at Navasota Municipal?
At Navasota Municipal (60R), instrument flight rule cancellations must be handled through Houston Approach rather than any on-field control facility. This is because the airport is non-towered and has no local air traffic control to close a flight plan directly. Pilots operating IFR into 60R should contact Houston Approach for cancellation once the flight is complete. This procedure applies to all IFR arrivals at the field given the absence of a control tower.
