Destin Executive Airport is in Destin, Florida. The field elevation is 22.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 5,001 ft long and asphalt. The tower is open 0600-2200. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so check the current Chart Supplement before you fly. Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call 850-424-6890 for current services. When the tower is closed, IFR aircraft stay on the ground until departure control gives climb-out instructions and an IFR release. That matters here because Eglin Air Force Base is only 6 NM northwest. The published remarks also call out parasailing and banner towing within 5 NM. Use extra vigilance in the pattern and on departure. Runway lighting and PAPI are available on both ends. Runway 14 PAPI has a left-of-centerline limit. Runway 32 PAPI has a wider usable range, but still needs a normal centerline approach. Airport condition is unmonitored, so do not assume anything about surface status without a current check. For FBO services, the remarks also direct pilots to contact 130.05.
