Ocala Intl-Jim Taylor Field sits in Ocala, Florida at 90.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 18/36 at 7,468 ft. The other is 08/26 at 3,010 ft. The field is towered from 0700 to 2000 local. One ILS is published for runway 36.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or tower gives you something different. Runway 36 is the calm wind runway. That matters here because 18 departures have a runway heading requirement to 800 ft AGL or the runway end, whichever comes later, before turning left. The 08/26 safety area also has a nonstandard irregular surface because of ongoing wildlife burrow mitigation.
Sheltair is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Customs service is unavailable. Surface conditions are not reported from 1700 to 0700 local time. Taxiway restrictions also matter here. A1 is limited to aircraft with wingspan 60 ft or less. Several taxiways are closed east of taxiway A. Plan your taxi route before you land. If you are bringing a large aircraft, check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator before arrival.
