Frequently asked questions
What is the runway configuration at KUDD?
Bermuda Dunes Airport operates a single runway, 10/28, measuring 5,002 feet long and 70 feet wide with an asphalt surface. There is no crosswind runway, so operators should account for wind alignment on this east-west orientation. A VASI serves Runway 28, and runway lighting (MIRL) is available. KUDD is non-towered, so arrivals and departures rely on CTAF procedures rather than tower clearance. The single-runway layout is a key planning factor for larger or wind-sensitive aircraft.
Is fuel available at Bermuda Dunes Airport around the clock?
No. Fuel at Bermuda Dunes Airport (KUDD) is available only between 0600 and 2000 local time, per the field's operational remarks. The field stocks 100LL, Jet A, and Jet A+ grades. Operators planning arrivals or departures outside this window should plan fuel loads accordingly before arrival, since uplift cannot be assumed after hours. The attendance schedule otherwise covers all days, but fuel service itself follows this narrower window.
Can turbine aircraft operate at KUDD overnight?
Turbine-powered aircraft are restricted at Bermuda Dunes Airport between 2300 and 0600 local time, with exceptions for military, law enforcement, and EMS aircraft. This closure applies specifically to turbine power, not to piston aircraft. Operators scheduling turbine arrivals or departures need to plan around this window or confirm exception status in advance. Runway lighting (MIRL) remains on until 2200 and switches to pilot-activated CTAF control afterward, which aligns with the reduced overnight activity expected under this restriction.
Where is the nearest customs facility to KUDD?
Bermuda Dunes Airport (KUDD) has no onsite customs processing. The nearest customs facility is at Palm Springs International Airport (KPSP), located approximately 12.56 nautical miles away. Aircraft requiring customs clearance need to route through KPSP or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at Bermuda Dunes. This distance is a relevant planning factor for international arrivals coordinating ground transport or connecting flights after clearance.
Are there any taxiway restrictions at Bermuda Dunes Airport?
Yes. The parallel taxiway at KUDD is closed to aircraft with a wingspan greater than 68 feet. Operators of larger business jets need to verify their aircraft's wingspan against this limit before planning taxi routing at Bermuda Dunes. This restriction is separate from the runway dimensions themselves and applies specifically to taxiway use. Confirming aircraft specifications ahead of arrival avoids routing conflicts once on the ground.
