Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length available at KMCC?
McClellan Airfield (KMCC) offers a single primary runway, 16/34, measuring 10,599 feet long and 150 feet wide with a concrete surface.

Is customs clearance available at McClellan Airfield?

This combination supports arrivals involving agricultural inspection requirements in addition to standard customs processing. The airport is not towered, so pilots coordinate clearance delivery through NorCal Approach rather than a local tower frequency. Given the runway length and jet fuel availability, KMCC is set up to handle a range of international business aviation traffic. Crews should still confirm specific inspection hours and requirements ahead of arrival.

Attendance for fuel and field services follows an all-day, every-day schedule.
