Tavares Seaplane Base (FA1) is in Tavares, Florida. The field elevation is 63 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so this is a seaplane base rather than a runway airport. It is a public-use VFR field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.975.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Tavares Seaplane Base. It carries AVGAS 100LL and MOGAS. Call (352) 742-6267 before arrival if you need current ramp or fuel details.
The published remarks say the airport address is 210 E. Main St, Tavares, FL 32778. They also note that seaplane operators should be aware of Leesburg Airport to the northwest. If you are filing or need to cancel IFR, contact Orlando Approach at 407-825-3398. John Drury is listed as the contact person. For any current operating limits, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly before you go.
