RWY 10L

Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Intl is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Field elevation is 65 ft MSL. The airport has 2 runways. The longest is 10L/28R at 9,000 ft. Tower service is 24 hours. Four ILS approaches serve the field, with coverage for 10L, 10R, 28L and 28R.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before arrival. The field is busy and ramp control is required for aircraft using Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4. Contact airport operations for ramp control hours. Noise abatement procedures are in effect on all runways. Jet runups are not authorized between 2300 and 0700. Birds are a real factor here. There is a concentration below 500 feet within 2.0 NM west of the 10L and 10R approach end.

On-field FBOs are Signature Aviation, Fontainblueau Aviation, National Jets and Sheltair. They carry AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Fontainblueau Aviation, National Jets and Sheltair also carry Jet A Prist. Taxiway and wingspan limits matter here. Some taxiways and apron areas have restrictions for larger aircraft. Verify current taxi routing with the airport operator or ramp control. The airport sits in a dense South Florida environment, so expect heavy traffic and pay close attention to ATIS, taxi instructions and runway assignment.
