DeKalb Facility Highlights

DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport is a well-equipped general aviation airport with services designed to support smooth, efficient training sessions. Students benefit from facilities such as:

• Multiple Runways: A primary paved runway for advanced maneuvers and a secondary for practical landing practice.
  
• Low Traffic Density: Ideal for beginners, the airport’s manageable traffic allows students to focus on building skills without the high congestion of larger airports.
  
• Controlled and Uncontrolled Airspace Training: While DKB is located in Class G airspace, its proximity to Class D and Class C airspace means students can gain experience with towered airport operations as they progress.
