Witham Field sits in Stuart, Florida. Field elevation is 16.1 ft MSL. The airport has three asphalt runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 5,828 ft. The tower is open 0700 to 2200. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a busy South Florida field with noise sensitive areas in all quadrants. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Call the airport manager if you need the current local guidance. Stage 1 and 2 jet operations are strongly discouraged from 2300 to 0800. Runway 12 has a displaced threshold approach slope note. Runway 30 also has an approach slope note. The PAPI is restricted west of runway 25 because of nearby towers.

Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. APP Jet Center is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Palm Beach Approach. If you are bringing a larger aircraft, note the published weight and wingspan limits. The airport also has EMAS at both ends of runway 12/30. For anything time-sensitive, verify the current Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before departure.
