Orlando Sanford Intl (KSFB) has 4 runways. The longest is 09L/27R at 11,002 ft. It is asphalt. The other runways are 18/36 at 6,002 ft. 09R/27L at 5,839 ft. 09C/27C at 3,578 ft. Surfaces in use are asphalt and asphalt-concrete.

The field elevation is 54.8 ft MSL. The control tower is open from 0630 to 2300. ILS is available on 09L, 09R and 27R. Right traffic is published for 09C, 36, 27R and 09R. That matters for pattern work and runway selection.

Noise abatement guidance is published for takeoff thrust and balanced jet use. FAA noise abatement departure procedure 2 is referenced for comparable aircraft operations specifications profile or National Business Aviation Association profile. On visual approaches, pilots are requested to delay landing gear extension until operationally necessary.

Wind & favored runway

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC assigns otherwise. The field elevation is 54.8 ft MSL. That puts a standard light-piston pattern near 1,055 ft MSL. The tower is open from 0630 to 2300. ATC sequences the pattern during those hours.

Right traffic is published for 09C, 36, 27R and 09R. That is important for briefing the downwind. Expect runway assignment and spacing to be managed by tower when it is open. Noise abatement guidance also applies on visual approaches. Delay gear extension until operationally necessary.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
