Private Aviation Briefing

Located near Cle Elum, De Vere Field (K2W1) sits at 1,800 ft MSL above sea level. Below is the operational context for private jet and charter operations from this airport.

U.S. General Aviation Context

De Vere Field is part of the U.S. National Airspace System, regulated by the FAA. As a WA facility, the airport contributes to the regional transportation network connecting Cle Elum to the broader aviation system. FAA Part 135 charter operators serve this airport, and The Jet Finder can source aircraft positioned near K2W1 for on-demand charter.

Runway Capability

De Vere Field's 2055-foot runway limits operations to piston aircraft, light turboprops, and select short-field-capable jets. The Pilatus PC-12 (2,600 ft required), Cessna Caravan, and King Air C90 are among the turbine aircraft that can use fields of this length. Charter passengers should coordinate with The Jet Finder to identify aircraft types suited to K2W1's runway.

Charter Considerations

Ground transportation at De Vere Field is a factor in total travel time. Private aviation eliminates the commercial terminal experience, but the drive from K2W1 to your final destination determines the true door-to-door advantage. FBOs at most airports offer car service coordination, rental car delivery to the ramp, and concierge ground transportation for arriving passengers.

What to Know Before You Fly

Fuel pricing varies significantly between airports and FBOs. Jet-A at De Vere Field may cost $5.50 to $10.00 per gallon depending on the FBO. On shorter flights, fuel cost is a minor component. On longer legs, the price difference between FBOs adds up. The Jet Finder factors fuel cost into charter quotes to ensure accurate pricing from K2W1.

Safety & Planning

Flight planning from De Vere Field accounts for current NOTAMs, TFRs, and airspace restrictions. Pilots operating from K2W1 check published notices before every departure. Temporary flight restrictions near stadiums, presidential movements, and military operations can affect routing and timing. The Jet Finder monitors these factors and communicates schedule impacts proactively.

Airport Selection Strategy

Based aircraft availability at De Vere Field directly impacts charter pricing. Airports with more locally based jets generate lower positioning costs. If K2W1 has limited based aircraft, the charter operator repositions from the nearest base, adding 30 to 60 minutes of flight time at the hourly rate. The Jet Finder identifies the closest available aircraft to minimize this cost.

Seasonal Factors

Convective weather season (May through September) impacts afternoon scheduling reliability at De Vere Field. Thunderstorm activity typically builds after 2:00 PM local time, potentially delaying departures from K2W1. Morning flights on this corridor routinely depart on schedule. The Jet Finder recommends morning departures when schedule certainty matters.

Location & Address

Geographically, De Vere Field (K2W1) is located at 47.1776° N, -120.8530° W near Cle Elum, WA. FBO-arranged car service or rideshare connects passengers from De Vere Field to Cle Elum and surrounding areas efficiently.

Runways & Facilities

At 2,055 feet, De Vere Field's runway accommodates piston singles and light turboprops. Jet operations are not practical at this field length. Pilots flying larger aircraft should plan for a nearby airport with more runway.

Regional Aviation Context

Washington State's GA network spans from Puget Sound's marine environment to the Cascades' volcanic peaks to eastern Washington's agricultural plains. Seattle's tech economy drives corporate demand.

Operational Considerations

De Vere Field's 1,800-foot field elevation keeps density altitude effects manageable. Even on warm days, density altitude here tops out around 3,600 feet — within normal performance parameters for most aircraft. The 2,055-foot runway provides approximately 1,944 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Four distinct seasons define operations at De Vere Field. Winter brings icing potential, snow-covered surfaces, and reduced daylight hours. De-icing capability is valuable from November through March. Spring and fall transitions produce the most variable weather — warm fronts, cold fronts, and rapid ceiling changes. Summer typically delivers the best VFR conditions but introduces convective risk during afternoon heating. Preflight weather assessment should include both surface observations and area forecasts at this latitude.
