The tower is open daily from 0700 to 2200. One ILS approach is published for runway 15.

Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Velocity Aviation, formerly Odyssey Aviation, is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For runway work, note that runway 15 is the calm wind runway. The airport also has a noise sensitive area north of the field. Early turnouts after departure from runway 06 are not authorized. Jets and turboprops must use the NBAA close-in procedure. If you are coming in at night or after tower hours, check the lighting setup before arrival. The field uses CTAF for light activation when the tower is closed.

This is busy central Florida airspace. Plan for traffic. Keep an eye out for helicopters, wildlife and birds in the area. Review the current Chart Supplement before departure for any published operational details that matter to your flight.
