Frequently asked questions
What runway does KSPB offer and what are its dimensions?
Scappoose Industrial Airpark (KSPB) has a single paved runway, designated 15/33, measuring 5,100 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This single-runway layout means wind conditions dictate which end is in use, and Runway 15 is designated as the calm wind runway. The full 5,100-foot length supports a range of general aviation and business aircraft. There is no crosswind runway at this field, so pilots should factor in the 15/33 orientation when planning arrivals in variable wind conditions.
Is fuel available at Scappoose Industrial Airpark?
Scappoose Industrial Airpark (KSPB) offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel on the field. The airport's attendance schedule runs all days, all months, from 0800 until dusk, which governs when fueling and other field services are staffed. Outside those hours, pilots should plan accordingly since the field is not staffed around the clock. This fuel availability supports both piston general aviation traffic and turbine business aircraft operating through KSPB.
Does KSPB have customs clearance onsite?
Scappoose Industrial Airpark (KSPB) does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs airport of entry is Hillsboro Airport (KHIO), located approximately 14.24 nautical miles away. Pilots arriving from international destinations who need to clear customs should plan to land at KHIO or another designated port of entry rather than at KSPB directly. This is a standard arrangement for general aviation fields in the area that lack their own federal inspection station.
How busy is business aviation traffic at KSPB throughout the year?
Business aviation traffic at Scappoose Industrial Airpark (KSPB) totaled 814 operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data, against 1,967 total annual operations at the field. Monthly volume is uneven, ranging from a low of 15 operations in February to a high of 137 operations in November. Traffic builds steadily from spring through late fall, with October, November, and December each exceeding 100 monthly operations. This pattern reflects a clear seasonal concentration in the latter part of the calendar year.
What lighting is available at Scappoose Industrial Airpark for night or low-visibility operations?
Scappoose Industrial Airpark (KSPB) provides pilot-controlled lighting on the CTAF frequency, including REIL on Runway 15, PAPI on both Runway 15 and Runway 33, and MIRL along the full 15/33 runway. REIL activation on Runway 15 requires seven clicks on the CTAF. Taxiway B is equipped with medium intensity taxiway lights, and the east side taxiway exits feature blue lights with centerline reflectors. These systems support operations outside daylight hours at this non-towered field.
