===Emil Buehler AMS Center=== | |||
Embry-Riddle's Daytona campus is home to the only "official" spotting location in Daytona. The recently completed Emil Buehler maintenance building includes a second and third floor open patio which overlooks the airport. The building is open to Embry-Riddle students and registered visitors to the campus. The deck directly overlooks Embry-Riddle's private ramp, as well as the approach to Runway 25R. Be aware that the building is often locked on nights and weekends. | |||

A parking area exists between Midway Avenue and the Daytona Speedway just west of the airport's terminal. As with all locations around Daytona, there is no easy way to photograph over the fence, but shooting through the fence can yield good photographs of aircraft taxiing on Taxiway November, especially in the late afternoon. | A parking area exists between Midway Avenue and the Daytona Speedway just west of the airport's terminal. This area has recently been branded as the airport's cell phone waiting lot. As with all locations around Daytona, there is no easy way to photograph over the fence, but shooting through the fence can yield good photographs of aircraft taxiing on Taxiway November, especially in the late afternoon. | ||

===Bellevue Avenue Extension=== | |||
West of the Yelvington Jet Aviation FBO, Bellevue Avenue Extension runs parallel to Runway 7L. Nearby Yelvington the road is posted no-parking, no-stopping. Further West it is common for cars to stop and watch aircraft over the fence. The Volusia County Sheriff has been known to ask cars to move to the South shoulder of the street (away from the airport) but has generally been reasonable to spotters in this location. | |||

The airport is connected to the VOTRAN bus network, but service is sporadic and limited. Outside of the Embry-Riddle campus, a car is necessary for any spotting. | The airport is connected to the VOTRAN bus network, but service is sporadic and limited.
