KSBY sits in Salisbury, Maryland. Field elevation is 52.5 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 6,400 ft. Runway 05/23 is 5,000 ft. The field has a control tower. Tower hours are 0600-2230 local.
One ILS approach is published for runway 32. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Azure Flight Support is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (410) 749-0323 for after-hours service. Published remarks also note that military training activity can be present. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. That matters here.
A few ramp and taxi details are worth planning for. Taxiway G south 950 ft is closed to aircraft with wingspan more than 49 ft. Taxiway E is closed to aircraft with wingspan more than 79 ft. For unscheduled operations, 24-hour prior permission is required. Contact the airport manager before arrival. When the tower is closed, runway 32 uses MALSR lighting. Runway 05, 14, 23 and 32 have PAPI that operate continuously. The airport is near the Maryland coast. Expect busy training traffic. Stay sharp on the pattern and taxi plan.
