Frequently asked questions
Does KDED have on-site customs clearance?
DeLand Municipal-Sidney H Taylor Field does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs facility is Daytona Beach International, located about 13.64 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs clearance need to route through that airport instead of KDED. Dispatchers planning international arrivals should factor this detour into routing and timing. No CANPASS or other special access designation applies here since customs simply is not offered at this field.
What runways are available at DeLand Municipal-Sidney H Taylor Field?
KDED offers two paved asphalt runways. Runway 12/30 is the longer of the two at 6,001 feet by 100 feet wide, and it carries high-intensity runway lighting. Runway 05/23 measures 4,301 feet by 75 feet wide and has medium-intensity edge lighting. Both runways currently have faded and discolored markings on all four runway ends.

The airport's attendance schedule runs 0800-1800 Monday through Friday and 0900-1700 on weekends, but that self-serve option extends fuel access beyond those windows. Jet A is listed among the field's fuel types for turbine operators. No fuel restrictions or seasonal limitations are noted in the airport's operational remarks.
Are there noise or traffic pattern restrictions at DeLand Municipal-Sidney H Taylor Field?
Yes, DeLand Municipal-Sidney H Taylor Field enforces several noise and pattern procedures. Touch-and-go operations are prohibited whenever three or more aircraft are already in the traffic pattern. The airport is designated noise sensitive, and pilots are asked to avoid overflying the residential area south of the field as well as flying a wide downwind for Runway 23. Jet aircraft are directed to use NBAA noise abatement procedures. The field also sees extensive parachute and flight training activity, so aircraft should avoid overflying the airport during parachute operations.
