Requesting Permission to Land (PPR)

IMPORTANT: If you are an International Arrival utilizing Moffett Field as a point of entry, we understand there has been confusion between USCBP Officers and our NASA Security Officers conducting ID checks on all passengers. Please DO NOT open your cabin door until you see the CBP Officer instruct you to do so. CBP will always approach your aircraft in a vehicle with a design similar to below. Thank you. 

STEP 1

Landing Permit Request Form

If you or your company have already been approved for a Landing Permit, skip to Step 2. First time users of Moffett Field must complete and submit the Landing Permit Request Form for approval to fly into Moffett Field and receive Prior Permission Numbers required for each landing. 

STEP 2

Prior Permission Required (PPR) Request Form

An approved Landing Permit (above) must be on file prior to the issuance of a Prior Permission Required Number (PPR#). Use this form for each arrival into Moffett Field or call Airfield Operations at 650-386-0677. We look forward to your visit! 

PPR Requests after 1200 on Fridays should be made by telephoning Airfield Operations directly at 650-386-0677.
