Orlando Sanford Intl sits in Orlando, Florida. Field elevation is 54.8 ft MSL. The airport has four runways. The longest is 09L/27R at 11,002 ft. The control tower is open daily from 0630 to 2300. Three ILS approaches are published for runway ends 09L, 09R and 27R.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Flight training is active in the pattern and local area. That matters here. Expect a busy mix of training traffic, airline and business traffic. Expect customs arrivals too. The airport is also a U.S. Customs and Border Protection general aviation facility. If you are arriving to clear customs with fewer than 30 seats, contact 129.075 before landing. Published customs hours are Thursday through Monday from 1100 to 1900.
Million Air Orlando is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport has published noise abatement guidance for takeoff thrust and balanced jet use. On visual approaches, pilots are asked to delay gear extension until it is operationally necessary. Taxiway K is closed to aircraft with wingspans greater than 79 ft. If you are bringing a large aircraft or a diverted flight, coordinate with the airport first.
