[edit] Facilities

Air Park-Dallas Airport has one runway:

• Runway 16/34: 3,080 x 30 ft. (939 x 9 m), Surface: Asphalt

Air Park-Dallas has been the subject of much litigation. See In re Crow-Billingsley Air Park, Ltd., 98 S.W.3d 178 (Tex. 2003); Noell v. Air Park Homeowners Assoc., Inc., 246 S.W.3d 827 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2008); Noell v. Crow-Billingsley Air Park, Ltd., 233 S.W.3d 408 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2007, pet. denied); Air Park-Dallas Zoning Committee v. Crow-Billingsley Air Park, Ltd., 109 S.W.3d 900 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2003, no pet.); Harrison v. Air Park Estates Zoning Committee, 533 S.W.2d 108 (Tex. Civ. App. - Dallas 1976, no writ). On February 5, 2008, the City of Carrollton adopted an ordinance annexing much of the runway tract into the city. Four days after the annexation, a single-engine Piper PA-28-140 aircraft (N4998L) crashed just south of the runway while attempting to land at Air Park. The NTSB investigated and found pilot error to blame (see DFW08CA067). On July 15, 1995, a single-engine Beech C35 aircraft (N1997D) crashed just north of the runway while attempting to land at Air Park. The NTSB investigated and found pilot error to blame (see FTW95FA300).

Note: Most of the airport property has recently been annexed by the city of Carrollton, TX. It is very likely that some or all of the property will be re-zoned, which may cause the airport to close. 3/1/2008
