RWY 36

Chalet Suzanne Air Strip is in Lake Wales, Florida. Field elevation is 130 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,313 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field technique and keep performance margins honest. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The published remarks matter here. Runway 18/36 uses nonstandard lights and white tires. The lights run from sunset to sunrise or by calling the listed number. There are trees and buildings near the runway environment. On runway 18, buildings sit close to the threshold. On runway 36, a road sits near the runway environment. The field is VFR only, so do not plan an IFR arrival. If you need clearance delivery, the published contact is Miami ARTCC. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so call the airport operator or the field contact before you go. For current operating details, verify any local procedures with the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator before departure.
