Frequently asked questions
Is there customs service at Plymouth Municipal (C65)?
Plymouth Municipal does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs airport is South Bend International (KSBN), located about 20.61 nm away. Dispatchers arranging international arrivals into C65 should plan customs clearance through KSBN rather than expecting onsite service at Plymouth.
What runway does C65 offer for arrivals and departures?
Plymouth Municipal operates a single asphalt runway, 10/28, measuring 4,400 feet by 75 feet. This is the airport's only paved surface, and its length matches the airport's listed maximum paved runway distance. The runway is equipped with REIL on both ends, MIRL, PAPI on runway 10, and VASI on runway 28, all activated via CTAF.
Is fuel available at Plymouth Municipal outside staffed hours?
Yes, Plymouth Municipal offers self-serve fuel available 24 hours a day. The airport stocks both 100LL and Jet A. Staffed attendance runs Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1700, with weekend service by appointment only, so self-serve capability covers gaps outside those hours.
How does business aviation traffic vary throughout the year at KC65?
Business aviation traffic at Plymouth Municipal shows clear peaks in July and October, with 42 and 39 operations respectively according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. Other months run considerably lower, generally between 10 and 19 operations.
