Lake County Airport sits in Lakeview, Oregon. The field elevation is 4,734.1 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 5,318 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. At this elevation, density altitude can be a real factor on warm days. The airport also carries a cold temperature note. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 26 degrees Celsius.

Lake County Airport is on field with Lake County Airport FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (541) 947-4222 for current service details before you go. Published remarks also note medium intensity runway lights on 17/35 that are activated by CTAF. PAPI is installed on both runway ends. REIL is installed on both runway ends. Tetrahedron lighting is inoperative.

A few local items matter here. Strong crosswind landings may use the northeast and southwest taxiways. There is a drag strip about 3,000 ft southwest of runway 35. Glider operations may occur on taxiways. Wildlife is present on and near the airport. Large waterfowl are reported from November through May. Fire season can bring heavy airtanker traffic, so expect a busy pattern when that is active.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pattern altitude at KLKV?

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. At KLKV that works out to about 5,734 ft MSL.

Does KLKV have an ILS approach?

No ILS approaches are published for KLKV. Check the current Chart Supplement for the latest approach list before you plan an arrival.

Is Lake County Airport towered?

No. KLKV is an uncontrolled field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

What runway is longest at KLKV?

Runway 17/35 is the only runway. It is 5,318 ft long. It is asphalt, so it can handle a lot of general aviation traffic, but density altitude at 4,734.1 ft MSL still matters.

Which fuel types are available on the field at KLKV?

Lake County Airport on field carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call the FBO directly at (541) 947-4222 for current service details.

Are there any lighting notes for night operations at KLKV?

Runway 17/35 has medium intensity runway lighting activated by CTAF. PAPI and REIL are installed on both ends. The tetrahedron lighting is inoperative, so do not rely on it.

What should I watch for on approach to KLKV?

Watch for wildlife, especially large waterfowl from November through May. Fire season can bring extensive airtanker operations. Keep your scan up and be ready for traffic that does not fit a normal pattern.

Is there any cold weather correction issue at KLKV?

Yes. The airport has a cold temperature note. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 26 degrees Celsius. Check the current Chart Supplement and plan your descent accordingly.
