Common Complaints

Noise Abatement Procedures: Petaluma is a noise-sensitive community, and pilots must adhere to specific noise abatement procedures, including an 800 ft MSL before crosswind turn and a straight-out climb to 1500 ft MSL for departures. This indicates a need for pilots to be mindful of local regulations.
Limited After-Hours Jet-A Service: While 100LL self-fueling is 24/7, Jet-A full service is only available during staffed hours (Monday-Friday 0800-1700, Saturday-Sunday 0800-1600), with a call-out fee for after-hours service.
No Commercial Terminal Facilities/Security/Customs: As a municipal general aviation airport, KO69 does not have commercial terminal facilities, TSA security checkpoints, or customs/immigration services. This is expected given its classification, but important for travelers to note if they are unfamiliar with general aviation airports.

Overall, Petaluma Municipal Airport is highly regarded by the general aviation community as a welcoming and well-equipped facility, with its primary considerations being adherence to local noise abatement rules and planning for after-hours Jet-A fuel needs.
