From The Flight Deck - Deer Valley Airport, (DVT)

The FAA's From the Flight Deck video series uses cockpit-mounted cameras to capture runway and taxiway footage and combines them with diagrams and visual graphics to clearly identify hot spots and other safety-sensitive items. Learn more at www.faa.gov/FromTheFlightDeck.
Visit www.faa.gov/dvt for supplemental "pilot handbook" information on this airport including airport-specific cautions, information local controllers want pilots to know, airport communications, airspace details and other preflight planning resources.
To address wrong surface events where an aircraft lines up to or lands on the incorrect runway, taxiway, or airport, the FAA released Arrival Alert Notices (AAN) at various airports with a history of misalignment risk. View the DVT Arrival Alert Notice here: hwww.faa.gov/airports/runway_s...
Phoenix Deer Valley is a medium-sized, predominantly business and general aviation airport. It boasts a large permanently based population. It is located approximately 17 miles north of Phoenix Sky Harbor, and is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, routinely handling over 450,000 operations per year. The airport is home to several high-activity flight schools, which, along with the large number of itinerant aircraft, results in an extremely busy air traffic environment.

I was in Civil Air Patrol there from 99-06. I was happy when they opened up the observation deck above the restaurant.

It may be a busy airport, but it is a great GA airport.

DVT has very near the same number of daily ops as PHX, managed by a far smaller crew. Bring your A game, ATC appreciates it and it makes a much more pleasant experience for everyone.
