Operating constraints
Oxnard Airport has published operating constraints in four categories: runway notes, environmental, pavement strength and other notes.
When the airport traffic control tower is closed, pilots may activate the MALSF on runway 25, the REIL on runway 07, and the MIRL on runway 07-25 using the CTAF.
A 45:1 obstruction clearance slope applies to the displaced threshold. A 123-foot AGL spire is displaced 200 feet to the left.
Fly-friendly procedures are in effect. Avoid high power settings over the residential area. Keep the downwind leg north of Wooley Road. Turn crosswind before the canal, or fly half a mile past the shoreline. Expect right traffic for runway 25. See the airport website for the full procedure.
Wildlife is present on and in the vicinity of the airport.

Frequently asked questions
Does KOXR have on-site customs clearance?
Oxnard Airport does not have on-site customs clearance. The nearest customs facility is Van Nuys Airport, located approximately 35.62 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs processing must plan their arrival through that facility rather than at KOXR directly. Dispatchers should account for this additional leg or ground transport when routing international arrivals. This distance should be factored into fuel and timing calculations for any flight requiring federal inspection services.
What is the runway configuration at KOXR?
Oxnard Airport has a single runway, 07/25, measuring 5,953 feet long and 100 feet wide. The surface is asphalt, and this length matches the airport's published maximum paved runway distance. With only one runway, wind conditions favoring a crosswind approach can affect operational flexibility more than at multi-runway fields. The PCR value published for this pavement is 371/F / D/X / T. Operators should confirm current pavement strength ratings against their aircraft weight class before planning heavier operations.
What are the noise abatement procedures at Oxnard Airport?
Oxnard Airport publishes fly-friendly procedures aimed at reducing noise over surrounding residential areas. Pilots are asked to avoid high power settings over residential zones and to keep downwind legs north of Wooley Road. The crosswind turn should occur before the canal, or alternatively half a mile past the shoreline. Right traffic should be expected for runway 25. Full procedural details are posted on the airport website, and dispatchers briefing crews into KOXR should reference that source for complete guidance.
Are there touch-and-go restrictions at KOXR?
Yes, Oxnard Airport restricts touch-and-go, stop-and-go, and taxi-back operations between 2000 and 0700 local time. After three consecutive patterns during that window, only taxi-back operations are permitted. This restriction is time-based and applies specifically to repetitive pattern work rather than to normal arrivals and departures. Crews planning training flights or currency patterns at KOXR should schedule those operations outside the restricted hours whenever possible. Dispatchers supporting flight training operations should brief this limitation in advance.
When does KOXR see its busiest business aviation traffic?
Business aviation traffic at Oxnard Airport, tracked here through FAA TFMSC data for 2025, is concentrated in the late spring and summer months. May recorded 236 operations and July recorded 235, the two highest monthly totals for the year. Traffic tapers toward the winter months, with January and December each near or below 165 operations. This seasonal pattern is consistent with regional business and leisure flying trends in coastal Southern California. Dispatchers planning ramp and scheduling capacity at KOXR should anticipate higher volumes during this window.
