Frequently asked questions
Is fuel available at Massey Ranch Airpark (X50)?

What is the runway configuration at X50?
Massey Ranch Airpark has a single paved runway, 18/36, measuring 4,360 feet long and 60 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway serving the field, so wind conditions outside this alignment can limit usability.

Where does traffic clear customs near Massey Ranch Airpark?
