Jefferson County International Airport. If Port Townsend is your first stop when traveling from Canada or another nation, you are required to clear U.S. Customs as soon as you arrive. Call 360-460-6857, to schedule a clearance appointment. When you land, you are required to proceed to the Customs waiting area, where the inspector will meet you. In order to avoid delays, you should contact the local U.S. Customs office at least one hour prior to your arrival.
The U.S. Customs waiting area is at the east end of the ramp for your privacy, and there are signs directing you there. The yellow sign with the arrow is located on the left side of the south taxiway, and points you toward the east end of the ramp, adjacent to the helicopter landing zone. Please remain at the waiting area until the Customs officer clears you to proceed. Aircraft may not land at any private airstrips until the aircraft has been cleared into the United States by a Customs officer at a designated airport.
For general information, including import restrictions, please link to the U.S. Customs & Border Protection web site.
Noise Abatement Procedures
Pilots know best how to operate their aircraft so that they create the least amount of noise.
These recommended procedures are not meant to interfere with safety, good judgment, FAA rules, or with techniques that good pilots know will help reduce ground noise from their aircraft.
Jefferson County International Airport is adjacent to residential areas. Because of this, some residents are very sensitive to noise from aircraft. These recommended procedures are designed to reduce aircraft noise for the community while keeping visiting aircraft and their operators welcome. Pilots are requested to follow these procedures with respect for the local residents and for other pilots.
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT. It is understood that FAA rules, weather and safety considerations may at times require deviation from these procedures.
THERE IS NO SUBSTIUTE FOR ALERTNESS IN THE
VICINITY OF AN UNCONTROLLED AIRPORT.
