Winter Haven Rgnl is in Winter Haven, Florida. Field elevation is 145.5 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 5,005 ft. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF traffic and self-announced position reports on 123.05. Pattern altitude is 855 ft AGL, which is 1,000.5 ft MSL.

No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and the weather in mind. The on-field FBO is Winter Haven Regional Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A, Jet A Prist and mogas. Call ahead at (863) 298-4551 if you need current ramp details or fuel availability.

A few published remarks matter here. Runway 05 has a steeper-than-normal approach path because of trees near the departure end. There are also unlighted obstructions in the runway 05 approach. Runway 05 is preferred in calm or light winds. The field also has glider activity, non-radio traffic and a nearby seaplane base on the adjacent lake. That means a careful scan is smart on every arrival and departure. The airport is in the Tampa approach area for clearances and radar services. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
