Southwest Florida Intl is in Fort Myers, Florida. The field elevation is 29.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 06/24, which is 12,000 ft long. The tower is open from 0600 to 0000. One ILS approach is published for runway 06. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
PrivateSky is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call them at (239) 225-6100 for current service details. This is a busy Class C airport with airline and business traffic. Expect a runway use program and follow the published noise abatement flow. Runway 24 is preferred between 2200 and 0600. For a visual to 06 west of Fort Myers Beach, maintain 3,000 ft until crossing the shoreline 12 NM southwest of the airport. That matters here because the field sits close to the coast. The traffic mix is heavy.
There are also ramp and taxi cautions to brief before arrival. Ground approval is required before pushback from several gates. Taxiway A5 is closed to aircraft with wingspans over 118 ft. Open baggage bays, construction and misleading lights northwest of runway 06/24 are all noted hazards. Check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator or the FBO directly if you need the latest ramp or noise details.
