Manatee Airport (48X) sits in Palmetto, Florida. Field elevation is 27 ft MSL. It has one runway, 07/25, which is 3,120 ft of turf. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local guidance says otherwise. Traffic patterns are on the south side of the runway and runway centerline extended. The airport operator maintains a segmented circle and a windsock. The field also has a few operational items to watch. The first 500 ft at the east end of runway 07/25 can be soft after heavy seasonal rains. Birds, wildlife and deer are reported on and near the airport. Hangars sit 135 ft left of centerline on the first half of runway 07. Parked aircraft are 135 ft right of centerline on the first one-third of runway 25.
Manatee Airport carries 100LL through the on-field Manatee Airport FBO. Fuel is available daily from sunrise to sunset. Call ahead at 941-722-9296 for after-hours service or runway condition checks. The airport is closed to turbine helicopter operations for hover and practice maneuvers at the northeast field adjacent to runway 07/25, except Bell Jet Rangers and emergencies. For clearance delivery, contact Tampa Approach. Pilots should plan for turf performance. They should also plan for soft spots after rain. Normal Florida density altitude planning applies on warm days.
