Frequently asked questions
What runway is available at KDXE?
Dexter Municipal (KDXE) has a single paved runway, designated 18/36, measuring 5,000 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway serving the airport, and it accommodates the business aviation traffic that makes up the majority of operations at the field. No other runway configuration exists at this airport.
Is fuel available at Dexter Municipal Airport?
Dexter Municipal Airport offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel through a 24-hour self-service credit card system. This means fuel access does not depend on staffed hours, which is useful given the airport's irregular attendance schedule. Pilots should be prepared to use a credit card at the pump rather than expecting fuel attendant service.
Can international flights clear customs at KDXE?
KDXE does not have customs processing on site. The nearest customs facility is at Memphis (KMEM), approximately 104 nautical miles away, so aircraft requiring customs clearance must route through that airport or another designated port of entry before or after a stop at Dexter Municipal.
What operational hazards should pilots know about at Dexter Municipal?
Dexter Municipal (KDXE) reports crop dusting aircraft operating on and in the vicinity of the airport, as well as model airplane activity on and around the field. Pilots should maintain vigilance for these lower-altitude, non-standard traffic patterns near the airport environment, particularly during approach and departure phases of flight.
