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.
