Operating constraints
Norfolk Regional / Karl Stefan Memorial Field has published operating constraints in two categories: runway notes and other notes.
Runway 20 is designated as the calm wind runway. All runways use left-hand traffic only.
Pilot-activated lighting includes MALSR on runway 02, REIL on runway 20, PAPI on runways 02, 20, 14, and 32, HIRL on runway 02/20, and MIRL on runway 14/32, activated via CTAF.
The clearance slope to the displaced threshold is 42:1, due to a railroad located 1,185 feet from the displaced threshold, 428 feet right of centerline.
The clearance slope to the displaced threshold is 32:1, due to a 59-foot tree located 1,895 feet from the displaced threshold, 105 feet right of centerline.
Self-service fuel is available around the clock, 100LL only.
For flight plan cancellation, if unable to contact on the FSS frequency, contact Minneapolis ARTCC.

Frequently asked questions
Is there customs clearance available at KOFK?
Norfolk Regional / Karl Stefan Memorial Field has no onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, roughly 80 nautical miles away. Crews requiring a customs clearance ahead of an international arrival need to plan for that stop or coordinate clearance through KOMA in advance. There is no CANPASS or military-only restriction noted at this field, since it simply lacks a customs presence altogether. Dispatchers should factor the diversion distance into routing decisions when clearance is required.
What fuel is available at KOFK?
KOFK carries both 100LL and Jet A, with Jet A designated as A+ in the field data. Self-service 100LL is available around the clock, per airport remarks. Jet A availability is not tied to that same self-service, round-the-clock note, so crews should coordinate fueling around the field's staffed hours rather than assume full-time access. Norfolk Regional / Karl Stefan Memorial Field's attendance schedule runs 0700-1900 on weekdays, 0700-1700 on Saturday, and 1000-1700 on Sunday. Confirming fuel service timing against that schedule is worthwhile before planning an arrival outside those windows.
What are the runway options at Norfolk Regional / Karl Stefan Memorial Field?
Norfolk Regional / Karl Stefan Memorial Field offers two paved asphalt runways, 14/32 and 02/20, both roughly 5,800 feet long and 100 feet wide. Runway 14/32 measures 5,806 feet, while 02/20 measures 5,801 feet, giving nearly identical length options depending on wind. Runway 20 is designated as the calm-wind runway. All runways at KOFK operate with left-hand traffic only, a detail dispatchers and pilots should note when planning circuit entry. Lighting includes MALSR on runway 02, REIL on runway 20, and PAPI on all four runway ends.
Does KOFK have an air traffic control tower?
KOFK, Norfolk Regional / Karl Stefan Memorial Field, is a non-towered airport. Traffic coordination relies on CTAF procedures, and remarks note that all runways use left-hand traffic patterns only. For flight plan cancellation on arrival, if a pilot cannot reach a flight service station on the FSS frequency, the remarks direct contact with Minneapolis ARTCC instead. This gives crews a documented backup path for closing a flight plan when local FSS contact fails. Understanding this sequence matters for IFR arrivals expecting a straightforward frequency handoff.
What obstacles affect approach clearance slopes at KOFK?
Norfolk Regional / Karl Stefan Memorial Field has two documented obstruction clearance slope restrictions. One shows a clearance slope to the displaced threshold of 42:1, caused by a railroad located 1,185 feet from the displaced threshold and 428 feet right of centerline. The other shows a clearance slope of 32:1, caused by a 59-foot tree 1,895 feet from the displaced threshold and 105 feet right of centerline. Both obstructions sit to the right side of the respective runway approach path. Crews planning approaches at KOFK should account for these reduced clearance slopes during approach planning.
