Delaware Coastal Airport (KGED) sits in Georgetown, Delaware at 53.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is Runway 04/22 at 5,500 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to use CTAF 123.0 and UNICOM 123.0 for local traffic. No ILS approaches are published here, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest instrument options before you go.
The published pattern altitude is not given. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Skyline Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (302) 855-2355 for service or fuel after hours. Published remarks also note park and tie-down fees apply. The fixed base operator is normally open from 0800 to 1800 local standard time.
This is a busy local airport with some operational points to watch. Runway 04/22 sees frequent backtaxi use. The MALSR is activated on Runway 04. REILs are on all runway ends. Medium intensity runway lights on both runways are controlled by CTAF. Wildlife is also reported near the runways, so keep your scan sharp on taxi and final. For clearance delivery when the ground communications outlet is not usable, contact Dover Approach. If Dover Approach is unavailable, contact Washington ARTCC.
