Chesapeake Regional Airport (CPK) — Official Directory Record
Chesapeake Regional Airport (IATA: CPK) is the City of Chesapeake's public-use general aviation airport, providing aviation services for Hampton Roads' largest city by land area. This directory listing (35011) represents one of multiple records associated with the Chesapeake Regional Airport facility, which may reflect different administrative contacts, historical name variations, or directory indexing across FAA and state aviation databases. The airport operates under Chesapeake's municipal authority and provides instrument approach capabilities, fuel services, and FBO operations for the south Hampton Roads general aviation community.
CPK's significance in the Hampton Roads aviation network is substantial: it provides general aviation access to a city of 250,000+ residents without requiring pilots to navigate the complex restricted airspace associated with NAS Norfolk, NAS Oceana, and Langley Air Force Base that complicates operations closer to the urban core of Hampton Roads. The FAA's Hampton Roads TRACON coordinates traffic for CPK and dozens of other aviation facilities in the Hampton Roads environment, managing both the dense military operations and the civilian general aviation activity that coexist in one of the nation's most militarized aviation regions. Virginia DOT Aviation's Hampton Roads planning framework includes CPK as a key component of the region's civilian aviation infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Chesapeake Regional Airport appear multiple times in aviation directories?
Large airports and facilities with multiple administrative contacts, historical names, or indexed records sometimes appear multiple times in aviation directory databases. The FAA's airport database, state DOT records, and commercial aviation databases may each capture slightly different versions of the same facility's information, resulting in multiple directory entries for what is operationally a single airport.
What approach procedures does CPK have?
Chesapeake Regional Airport has published instrument approach procedures including ILS or GPS approaches that allow operations in instrument meteorological conditions. Pilots planning IFR operations to CPK should obtain current approach charts from FAA AeroNav products and review any applicable NOTAMs before departure.
Is Hampton Roads Executive Airport different from Chesapeake Regional Airport?
Hampton Roads Executive Airport (PVG) and Chesapeake Regional Airport (CPK) are separate facilities both located within the City of Chesapeake. PVG is a separate general aviation airport that serves the Hampton Roads executive and corporate aviation market, while CPK serves general and recreational aviation as the city's primary GA airport.

CPK Airport Records and Hampton Roads Aviation Planning
The multiple directory entries associated with Chesapeake Regional Airport reflect the complexity of maintaining comprehensive aviation facility databases across FAA, state, and commercial data systems. Each record may serve a different administrative or informational purpose — one record capturing the airport operations office contact, another capturing the FBO, another the city's aviation authority — while all pointing to the same physical runway complex. For pilots, the operationally relevant information is the ICAO/IATA identifier (CPK), current NOTAMs, and approach procedures, all of which are maintained in the FAA's official Airport/Facility Directory and AeroNav chart publications.
Hampton Roads' aviation planning challenges are significant: the region must accommodate the world's largest naval complex, major Air Force fighter operations, commercial airline service at ORF, executive aviation at multiple FBOs, and general aviation at CPK and other public airports — all within a relatively constrained geographic area bounded by the Chesapeake Bay to the north and west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the North Carolina border to the south. Virginia DOT Aviation's Hampton Roads planning district works with the FAA, military services, and local governments to coordinate this complex multi-user aviation environment, ensuring that civilian aviation interests like CPK retain appropriate access amid the region's heavy military aviation presence.
