Miami-Opa Locka Exec is in Miami, Florida. The field elevation is 8 ft MSL. It has 3 asphalt runways. The longest is 8,002 ft. The tower is open from 0700 to 2300. Three ILS approaches are published for runway ends 09L, 12 and 27R. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives different instructions.
On the field you will find Atlantic Aviation, Signature Aviation, Fontainebleau Aviation, Embassair and Jet Aviation Miami. They carry AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Embassair and Jet Aviation Miami also carry Jet A Prist. This is a noise-sensitive airport. Flight training is limited to aircraft at 40,000 lb maximum gross takeoff weight and below. Training is only between 0700 and 2300. Specific helicopter and fixed-wing patterns are published. Ask the tower or the FBO for the current pattern before you go in. Runway 09L/27R is closed daily from 0400 to 1200 Zulu unless prior permission is arranged. Runway 09R/27L is also closed daily from 0400 to 1200 Zulu. Expect a busy controlled field with multiple FBOs. Ramp procedures matter here. Birds are in the area. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any other restrictions before departure.
