Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KMIE?
Delaware County Regional operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 14/32 is the primary strip at 6,500 feet long and 150 feet wide. Runway 03/21 measures 5,198 feet long and 100 feet wide. Both runways support jet operations, though Runway 03/21 carries restrictions for larger scheduled and non-scheduled passenger flights. Dispatchers planning into KMIE should confirm runway suitability against aircraft category and operation type.
Is there a restriction on Runway 03/21 at Delaware County Regional?
Yes, Runway 03/21 at KMIE is not available for Part 121 or Part 380 operations under specific passenger-carrying conditions. Scheduled passenger-carrying operations with more than 9 passenger seats cannot use this runway. Non-scheduled passenger-carrying operations with more than 30 passenger seats are also excluded. This restriction applies only to Runway 03/21; Runway 14/32 does not carry the same limitation. Flight planners handling larger passenger operations should route accordingly.
Can I get customs clearance at KMIE?
Delaware County Regional does not host onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is located at KFWA, approximately 45 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance need to route through that airport or another designated port of entry before or after a stop at KMIE. This applies to all international arrivals since KMIE itself has no customs processing capability listed. Flight planning should account for this additional stop when crossing into the United States near Muncie.
What fuel is available at KMIE?
Delaware County Regional Airport stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel. The field is a towered airport with an attendance schedule spanning all days from 0600 to 2200 local time. This coverage window applies to field attendance generally, and operators should plan fuel uptake within those hours. Both fuel types support a mix of piston and turbine business aviation traffic at this facility. KMIE serves as a fuel stop option for operators transiting the east-central Indiana region.
What lighting is available at Delaware County Regional?
KMIE offers a range of runway lighting activated via CTAF. Runway 32 has MALSR approach lighting, while Runways 3, 14, and 21 carry REIL, with the REIL units on Runway 3, 14, and 21 operating at high intensity only. PAPI is installed on Runways 14 and 21, and PAPI on Runway 3 runs on a continuous, non-pilot-controlled basis. Runway 3/21 has MIRL medium-intensity edge lighting, and Runway 14/32 has HIRL high-intensity edge lighting. Pilots should activate these systems through CTAF when the tower is closed.
