RWY 27

Delaware Airpark sits in Dover and Cheswold, Delaware. Field elevation is 55.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, which is 4,201 ft long and paved with asphalt. The airport is non-towered. The runway lights are medium intensity and controlled by CTAF. Runway end identifier lights are active on both ends. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 27 is the calm wind runway. That is useful here because the field has a gradient. Aircraft are not visible on the opposite end of the runway because of that slope. Keep a close scan on rollout and backtaxi operations. There is also a 94-foot tree 0.3 NM west of the runway on the 09 side. A 57-foot power line sits 0.2 NM east of the runway on the 27 side.

Delaware Airpark has one on-field FBO, Delaware Airpark. It carries 100LL. Twenty-four hour self-serve credit card fuel is available. Airport conditions are unmonitored between 1630 and 0830. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. Transient parking is north of the terminal building. Additional transient parking is on the apron west of the T hangars. The east apron is closed to transient parking. For clearance delivery, contact Washington ARTCC. If your aircraft is too large for the field, use Dover Air Force Base civilian air terminal with prior permission.
