Avon Park Executive Airport is in Avon Park, Florida. The field elevation is 160.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 5,374 ft. Runway 10/28 is 3,844 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. The airport is VFR only.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Avon Park Executive Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. Call 863-453-3565 for after-hours service. The airport is on call Saturday and Sunday. It is closed on holidays.

A few remarks matter here. Runway 23 has unlighted obstructions near the approach. A fence and road sit about 200 ft from the runway end. There is also an unlighted 15-foot road 90 ft from the end and 250 ft right of centerline. Runway 10/28 markings are faded. The beacon is out of service indefinitely. The runway lights are preset to low intensity from dusk to dawn. Use CTAF to increase lighting intensity and to activate taxiway lights, runway end identifier lights and the PAPI systems. For clearance delivery, if Flight Service is not available, contact Miami ARTCC. First-time pilots should plan for a non-towered VFR field with runway lighting and marking issues to brief before arrival.
