Truckee Tahoe Airport (IATA: TKF, ICAO: KTRK, FAA LID: TRK) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) east of the central business district of Truckee, California, United States. The airport is situated in both Nevada County and Placer County. It is owned by Truckee Tahoe Airport District, a bi-county special district. According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a general aviation airport.
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned TRK by the FAA and TKF by the IATA (which assigned TRK to Juwata Airport in Tarakan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia). Facilities and aircraft
Truckee-Tahoe Airport covers an area of 989 acres (400 ha) at an elevation of 5,900 feet (1,798 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 10/28 is 7,000 by 100 feet (2,134 x 30 m) and 1/19 is 4,650 by 75 feet (1,417 x 23 m).
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2004, the airport had 35,000 aircraft operations, an average of 95 per day: 97% general aviation, 3% air taxi, and <1% military. At that time there were 91 aircraft based at this airport: 80.2% single-engine, 13.2% multi-engine, 2.2% jet, 3.3% glider and 1.1% ultralight.
AWOS is at 118.0. Runway elevation 5,900'. Both runways are lighted. Density altitude can exceed 9,000' in summer months. Downdrafts can occur on final to RWY 19. Glider pilots use LEFT traffic RWY 19. Powered pilots use RIGHT traffic RWY 19.
100LL and Jet A are available from 7am - 7pm, and self serve 100LL is available from 7am - 9pm. There are 210 paved tie-downs available for transient parking, no landing fees, and minimal overnight tie-down fees.
The airport is attended seven days a week, 6am - 11pm. Snow removal equipment is operated round-the-clock to clear runways during and after snowstorms. Pre-heating services and aircraft maintenance are offered on the field by local FBOs. No de-icing services are available.
The Truckee Tahoe Airport had a 500 gallon underground heating oil tank removed in 1986. Small amounts of oil that had leaked out were monitored and removed under the supervision of the Nevada County Health Department and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Six remaining aboveground tanks were functioning satisfactorily and are regularly leak tested.
Instrument Departures
IFR clearances can be requested from Oakland Center on frequency 127.95 which can be reached from most places on the field.
