Dallas Exec is in Dallas, Texas. The field elevation is 660.5 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is 7,136 ft on runway 13/31. The tower is open 0700-2100. One ILS is published for runway 31.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,660.5 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in busy metro airspace, so expect a high-traffic environment. Stay sharp on radio work and sequencing.
Jet Access and Ambassador Jet Center are on the field. Both carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available 24 hours. Airport services are available on call after hours. When the tower is closed, the runway lights on 13/31 and 17/35 are preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase lighting intensity if needed.
Watch the published obstructions near runway 13. Trees and a concrete wall are noted close to the runway environment. Birds and wildlife are also reported on and near the airport. Check the current Chart Supplement and brief the approach carefully before you go in.
