Tampa Executive Airport sits in Tampa, Florida. The field elevation is 21.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 5,000 ft. This is a non-towered field, so use CTAF 122.7 for local traffic calls. Tampa Approach handles clearance delivery on 119.9. The airport is published for VFR operations only.
There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 23. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Skyport Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. After-hours fuel and services are available through the on-call attendant. The published remarks also note jet single-point fueling and lavatory service.
A first-time pilot should pay attention to the nearby traffic picture. MacDill Air Force Base military Class D airspace sits close by. There is also military pattern traffic near runway 5/23. Runway 18 has a steep approach slope note. Runway 23 has a displaced-threshold approach slope note. Trees are reported northwest of runway 5/23 inside the transition surface. Seaplane activity is reported 3 NM southeast of the airport. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or operating restrictions before you go.
