Alva Regional Airport sits in Alva, Oklahoma. The field elevation is 1,476.6 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 5,001 ft. Runway 09/27 is 1,390 ft of turf. There is no control tower. Traffic pattern altitude is not published, so a standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is the normal starting point for light piston ops unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. Runway 18 has an omnidirectional approach lighting system. Runway 18 and runway 36 both have medium intensity runway lights. The lights are controlled by CTAF. PAPI is installed on both 18 and 36. Runway 36 also has REILs. The on-field FBO is Alva Regional Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours a day with a credit card.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the non-towered pattern, the lighting setup on 18/36 and the lack of published ILS. Clearance delivery goes through Vance Approach. If Vance is closed, use Kansas City Center. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated procedures before you go.
