Frequently asked questions
How long is the main runway at KVCT?
The primary runway at Victoria Regional, designated 13/31, measures 9,111 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length supports a broad range of business jet and turboprop operations without the runway length limitations seen at smaller regional fields. A secondary runway, 18/36, is also paved and measures 4,908 feet by 75 feet, offering a crosswind option. Both runways are asphalt, and neither is currently reported with any load or length restriction beyond their published dimensions.
Is customs clearance available at KVCT?
Victoria Regional does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KCRP, located approximately 72 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance need to route through KCRP or another designated port of entry rather than clearing directly at KVCT. Dispatchers planning international arrivals into Victoria should build this diversion distance into routing and timing decisions since clearance cannot be completed at the field itself.
What fuel types are available at Victoria Regional?
Victoria Regional (KVCT) stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel. The airport operates under an attendance schedule of all days Monday through Friday from 0600 to 2100 local time, which governs when fuel and other services are staffed. Operators arriving outside these hours should plan accordingly, as service availability follows this published schedule. The presence of both fuel types supports a mix of piston and turbine traffic through the field.
What lighting is available on the runways at KVCT?
Runway 13/31 at Victoria Regional is equipped with high-intensity runway lights (HIRL) preset to low intensity, with intensity increase and MALSR activation available via CTAF for runway 13. Runway 18/36 has medium-intensity runway lights (MIRL) preset to medium intensity only, without pilot-controlled intensity adjustment noted. PAPI systems are installed and operate continuously on runways 31, 18, and 36. This lighting configuration supports night and low-visibility operations on the main runway in particular.
Are there any wildlife hazards reported at KVCT?
Victoria Regional has a general remark noting bird activity on and around the airport. Crews operating into or out of KVCT should factor this into approach and departure briefings, particularly during periods of higher avian activity. The remark does not specify seasonal timing or species, so operators should treat it as a standing advisory rather than a time-limited one. Coordination with airport operations or ATC on current conditions is advisable before operating in the vicinity.
