Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at KOKV?
Winchester Regional Airport does not have onsite customs. The nearest customs facility is at KJYO, located approximately 27.63 nautical miles away. General remarks reference ADCUS availability with a 24-hour minimum advance notice requirement, arranged by phone contact Monday through Friday, plus separate coordination after hours and on weekends. Crews planning an international arrival should build in time for this advance notice rather than treating KOKV as a clearance point. Coordination through Potomac Approach is also referenced for clearance delivery.
What runway does KOKV offer for business aviation traffic?
Winchester Regional Airport (KOKV) has a single paved runway, designated 14/32, measuring 5,498 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This length accommodates the bulk of the business aviation traffic recorded at the field. Runway 32 has an activated MALSR approach lighting system, while Runway 14 is equipped with REIL. Both runway ends carry high-intensity runway lighting (HIRL), controlled via CTAF since the airport is non-towered.
Is KOKV a towered airport, and what fuel is available?
KOKV, Winchester Regional Airport, is a non-towered field, so arriving and departing traffic coordinates over the common traffic advisory frequency. Both 100LL and Jet A fuel are available onsite. Field attendance runs daily from 0600 to 2200 local time. Outside those hours, crews should plan fueling and services accordingly, and note the airport's proximity to Washington Dulles International, roughly 34 nautical miles to the east, for regional traffic awareness.
What wildlife or traffic pattern hazards are noted for Winchester Regional Airport?
Winchester Regional Airport carries a general remark noting deer on and in the vicinity of the airport, a hazard relevant to both day and night operations. Separately, medical flight traffic is flagged as operating an irregular departure pattern, meaning inbound and outbound sequencing near the field can deviate from standard expectations. Pilots and dispatchers operating into KOKV should factor both notes into approach and departure planning, particularly during low-light periods when deer activity and traffic sequencing awareness both matter.
How does business aviation traffic at KOKV vary through the year?
Business aviation traffic at Winchester Regional Airport (KOKV) is concentrated in the second half of the year, with November recording the highest monthly total at 256 operations and August close behind at 249. Traffic is lowest in February, at 117 operations, and December, at 137. Annual business aviation operations totaled 2,408 in 2025 out of 3,822 total operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. Dispatchers scheduling into KOKV during peak months should anticipate a busier ramp and pattern environment than in the winter shoulder months.
