Frequently asked questions
What runway does KFYJ offer for business aviation traffic?

Where does an aircraft clear customs near KFYJ?
Middle Peninsula Regional Airport does not have customs processing onsite. The nearest customs facility is Richmond International, located 26.54 nautical miles away, identified by ICAO code KRIC. Flight crews arriving from international origins need to plan a stop or prior clearance arrangement through that airport rather than expecting to clear customs directly at KFYJ. This distance should factor into routing and fuel planning for inbound international flights.
What obstacles or wildlife hazards should pilots know about at KFYJ?
Middle Peninsula Regional Airport reports a 23-foot tree obstruction located 161 feet from the runway threshold and 243 feet right of centerline, a close-in hazard relevant to approach and departure planning. The airport also notes deer on and in the vicinity of the field, a wildlife hazard pilots should watch for during taxi and runway operations. Additionally, rotor-wing and tiltrotor aircraft fly traffic patterns south of runway 10/28 at 800 feet AGL or above, a factor for situational awareness in the pattern.
