Frequently asked questions
What kind of fuel is available at KDCY?
Daviess County Airport (KDCY) stocks both 100LL and A+ fuel, and the field also has Jet A available. Fuel is self-service, so crews should be prepared to handle their own fueling on arrival. The airport is non-towered and attended Monday through Friday from 0800 to 1630 local, which is worth factoring in if support is needed outside self-serve fueling. There is no on-airport FBO staffing implied beyond this schedule, so pilots planning off-hours arrivals should plan around self-service fuel access.
Does KDCY have customs clearance on site?
Daviess County Airport does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs facility is at KIND, Indianapolis International, approximately 72 nautical miles away. Crews requiring a customs clearance stop should plan to route through KIND rather than expecting service at KDCY itself. This distance should be factored into fuel and routing planning for any international arrival that would otherwise use Daviess County as a stop.
What are the runway options at KDCY?
KDCY offers two runways: a paved Runway 18/36 measuring 5,002 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface, and a turf Runway 09/27 measuring 2,651 feet long and 150 feet wide. The paved runway is the primary option for business aviation traffic given its length and surface type. Runway lighting includes pilot-controlled REIL on Runway 36, PAPI on both Runway 18 and Runway 36, and MIRL on Runway 18/36, all activated via CTAF. Crops reported at 10 feet in height sit 70 feet from the runway end, 75 feet left and right, which is relevant for approach and departure obstacle clearance planning.
How busy is Daviess County Airport, and does traffic vary by season?
Daviess County Airport recorded 734 total annual operations in 2025 per FAA TFMSC data, with 548 of those classified as business aviation operations. Traffic at KDCY is concentrated in the second half of the year, with October, November, and December each showing higher monthly business aviation operations than most of the first half. July and September also show elevated activity compared to the January through May period. Dispatchers scheduling around this field should expect somewhat lighter business aviation traffic in the winter and early spring months.
Who provides air traffic services for KDCY given it is non-towered?
KDCY is a non-towered airport, so clearance delivery is handled by Evansville Approach. When Evansville Approach is closed, contact shifts to Indianapolis ARTCC for clearance delivery purposes. Pilots operating into or out of Daviess County Airport should be prepared to coordinate with whichever facility is active at the time of their operation. This arrangement is standard for the field and should be built into IFR routing plans accordingly.
