Airport notes

Surface conditions, obstructions, local procedures, lighting outages and other notes published with each FAA cycle.

General notes

  • Patrick Air Force Base Class D airspace is in close proximity. The Patrick Air Force Base crossing runway 11/29 has the same orientation as Merritt Island Airport.Show FAA
  • This is a noise sensitive airport. Voluntary noise abatement procedures are in effect. Climb out at best angle of climb, then turn crosswind at 700 feet, mid-river if possible, and merge with downwind traffic at 1000 feet pattern altitude. No touch-and-go operations are permitted between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. No repetitive flight operations at the airport between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. No repetitive flight training operations on Sundays and national holidays. Instead of touch-and-go operations, perform full stop and taxi-back operations. Avoid flying at low altitudes over noise sensitive areas such as Newfound Harbor Drive.Show FAA
  • Banner towing is conducted at this airport.Show FAA
  • For clearance delivery or to cancel IFR, contact Orlando Approach at 407-852-7500.Show FAA

RWY 11

Merritt Island Airport sits on Merritt Island in Florida. Field elevation is 5.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 11/29, which is 3,601 ft long. It is a non-towered field. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. No ILS approaches are published.

Space Coast Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For IFR coordination, Orlando Approach handles clearance delivery and IFR cancel. The airport is VFR only. Medium intensity runway lights on 11/29 are activated on CTAF. The rotating beacon is also activated on CTAF.

This is a noise-sensitive airport. Voluntary noise abatement is in effect. The published departure flow calls for best angle climb, then a crosswind turn at 700 ft, then joining downwind at 1,000 ft pattern altitude if terrain and traffic allow. Avoid low flight over noise-sensitive areas such as Newfound Harbor Drive. Touch-and-goes are not allowed between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. Repetitive training is also restricted overnight and on Sundays and national holidays. Patrick Air Force Base Class D is close by. Check the current sectional and the current Chart Supplement before arrival. There is also an unlighted 20 ft obstruction near the approach to runway 11.
