No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts.

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.
