For Pilots

Dongvile Municipal Airport has no control tower. Announce your position on CTAF 122.8 and check NOTAMs before you fly. Please avoid overflying residential areas below 1,000 feet.

The pilot lounge next to the self-serve pump is open 24 hours and has restrooms, a flight-planning computer, a courtesy phone and a list of local restaurants that will deliver to the field. The courtesy car is available to transient pilots for trips into town, up to two hours. Sign the log in the lounge and return the car with at least a quarter tank.

Airport Management

Airport Manager Ron Hooten has managed the field since 2009. He oversees fuel sales and the fuel system, hangar leases, runway lighting, mowing and daily inspections, and he answers questions from pilots and neighbors. If you need help and Ron is not in the office, check the mower.

Projects and the Advisory Board

The airport receives TxDOT Aviation grants for routine maintenance and capital projects, matched with City funds. Current work includes crack sealing and remarking Runway 17/35. Projects are listed on Bids & RFPs when they are advertised.

The five-member Airport Advisory Board is appointed by City Council and meets quarterly. The board reviews hangar leases, fuel pricing and capital requests and makes recommendations to council. Councilmember Hector Ybarra serves as council liaison.
