About DeKalb Peachtree Airport

Overview

DeKalb Peachtree Airport serves the metropolitan Atlanta area as a critical general aviation and business aviation facility. Located at 33.876330, -84.302130 with an elevation of 1,003 feet MSL, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the region. Its four runways accommodate a diverse range of aircraft operations, with runway lengths varying from 3,383 to 6,001 feet.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at PDK demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 69.6% of observed conditions. Seasonal transitions in September, October, and November offer the most stable flying weather, characterized by minimal precipitation and favorable wind patterns. The prevailing northwest winds at an average of 6.9 knots, with calm conditions 40% of the time, provide generally predictable flying environments.

Notable Features

The airport's strategic location near Atlanta provides convenient access to urban and surrounding aerial infrastructure. With multiple runway orientations (09/27, 16/34, 3L/21R, 3R/21L), pilots can optimize takeoff and landing approaches based on current wind conditions. All runways are paved with asphalt (ASP) or concrete (CON), ensuring consistent surface quality across different operational areas.

Approach Considerations

Wind data indicates exceptionally favorable wind alignments for both primary runway configurations, with 100% favorable wind coverage for 09/27 and 16/34 runways. Average crosswind components remain low at 4.3 and 4.1 knots respectively, facilitating predictable approach and landing scenarios. Pilots should anticipate temperature ranges from -8°C to 33°C and typical visibility around 8.8 statute miles, with occasional reduced visibility periods.
