Is fuel available at KPKB?
Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport (KPKB) offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The field is attended daily from 0530 to 2230 local time. Outside those hours, pilots operating under an active control tower closure should note that lighting activation procedures apply for runway approach systems. Aircraft fuel purchases also factor into the airport's landing fee structure for heavier aircraft categories.
Does KPKB charge landing fees?
Mid-Ohio Valley Regional (KPKB) does not charge a landing fee for aircraft under 6,500 pounds. For aircraft above that weight, the landing fee is waived when the operator purchases fuel on the field. This structure means light general aviation traffic faces no landing charge at all, while heavier business aircraft can avoid the fee through a fuel purchase. Operators planning fuel stops should factor this into trip planning.

Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport (KPKB) does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs-equipped airport is Charleston Yeager, KCRW, located approximately 58.6 nautical miles away.

Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport (KPKB) reports birds and deer activity on and in the vicinity of the airport, a hazard pilots should watch for during approach and departure.
