Frequently asked questions
What runway does KCPK offer for business aircraft?
Chesapeake Regional (KCPK) operates a single runway, 05/23, measuring 5,500 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. That length accommodates most mid-size and light business jets without restriction. The field is non-towered, so arriving and departing crews coordinate on CTAF. High-intensity runway lighting on 05/23, along with MALSR on runway 05 and REIL on runway 23, is pilot-activated on the same frequency. There is no parallel or crosswind runway option at this airport.
Is there a customs facility on site at KCPK?
Chesapeake Regional Airport (KCPK) does not have customs service on the field. The nearest customs facility is at Norfolk International Airport (KORF), located approximately 15 nautical miles away. Operators requiring international clearance should plan to route through KORF rather than expecting to clear at KCPK. This distance is short enough that it factors into routing decisions for flights arriving from outside the United States. Confirm current customs procedures and hours directly with KORF before planning an arrival that requires clearance.
What fuel is available at KCPK?
Chesapeake Regional (KCPK) stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field is attended daily from 0800 to 2000 local time, and self-service fuel is available outside those hours. Crews needing fuel after attended hours are advised to call ahead in advance to arrange service. This after-hours provision gives operators flexibility for early departures or late arrivals outside the standard attendance window. Confirm current fuel availability and any self-service procedures before planning an off-hours stop.
What wildlife or obstacle hazards should pilots know about at Chesapeake Regional?
Chesapeake Regional Airport (KCPK) reports deer and geese on and in the vicinity of the runway, a hazard pilots should watch for during approach and departure. Separately, an 18-foot tree is located 276 feet right of the runway centerline as a close-in obstruction. Neither hazard is unusual for a regional airport in this coastal Virginia setting, but both warrant attention during visual approaches. Crews should maintain vigilance for wildlife activity near the runway environment at all times, particularly during low-light periods.
How does business aviation traffic vary by month at KCPK?
Chesapeake Regional (KCPK) sees business aviation traffic concentrated in certain months rather than spread evenly across the year, according to FAA TFMSC data. June recorded 67 business aviation operations and October recorded 60, the two highest months in 2025. February was the lightest month at 29 operations. Total business aviation operations for the year reached 558 out of 1,907 total operations at the field. Dispatchers scheduling flights into KCPK should account for this uneven monthly distribution when planning ramp and fuel needs.
