Frequently asked questions
Is there a customs facility at KRVF?
Ruby Valley Field does not have customs onsite. The nearest customs clearance point is Bert Mooney Airport (KBTM), approximately 26 nautical miles away. Crews requiring CBP clearance should plan to route through KBTM rather than expecting service at Ruby Valley Field itself.
What runway length is available at Ruby Valley Field?
Ruby Valley Field's primary runway, 17/35, is a 6,000-foot paved asphalt surface 75 feet wide, sufficient for most business jet operations. A secondary turf-dirt runway, 07/25, measures 2,866 feet and is intended for lighter traffic. Runway 17/35 also carries the airport's maximum paved length figure.
Is fuel available at KRVF?
Yes, Ruby Valley Field stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel on the field. The airport is attended Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1700 local time, which is the window to plan fuel service around. Outside those hours, arrangements should be made in advance.
Are there any notable obstacles or hazards near KRVF?
Ruby Valley Field reports a 195-foot tall tower located 1.4 nautical miles northeast of the Runway 17 threshold, a factor for approach and departure planning. The field also notes deer and antelope activity on and in the vicinity of the airport. Field surface condition is unmonitored, so pilots should factor that into their operational risk assessment.
