Orlando Intl sits in Orlando, Florida. Field elevation is 96.4 ft MSL. The airport has 4 runways. The longest is 12,005 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Seven ILS approaches are published here, with coverage to runway ends 17L, 17R, 18R, 35L, 35R, 36L and 36R.
For light piston traffic, use a pattern altitude of 1,096 ft MSL, which is 1,000 ft AGL based on the field elevation. This is a busy Class B airport, so expect close coordination with ATC. The published remarks also matter. Taxiways J3 and J4 are limited to wingspans under 118 ft. Taxiway A south of A3 has the same restriction. Aircraft over 214 ft wingspan need specific runway and taxi routing. Call airfield operations before arrival if that applies. Bright lights on the road between the parallel 17 runways can be mistaken for runway lighting at night. Runway status lights are in use. Birds are reported on and near the airport.
On the field, Atlantic Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Signature Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. If you are planning a first stop here, review the current Chart Supplement and expect heavy airline traffic. Expect runway crossings. Expect tight ground control coordination.
