RWY 34

Clearwater Exec is in Clearwater, Florida. Field elevation is 71 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 4,108 ft of asphalt, so plan around the shorter runway length if you are bringing in a heavier airplane. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. Tampa Approach works the area on 125.3 and 316.05.

No ILS approaches are published here. The field is VFR only. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks also say landings and takeoffs are allowed from 0700 to 2300. Full stop landings only. No touch and go work here.

FlyUSA is on the field. They carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Trees penetrate the west side of the runway 16/34 transition surface. Runway 16 has a displaced-threshold clearance slope note. Runway 34 has one too. Visual approach slope indicators are installed for both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are controlled on CTAF. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Call the FBO before arrival if you need the current local brief. The airport sits close to the Tampa Bay area. Expect busy local traffic and stay sharp on the radios.
