Fort Lauderdale Exec is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Field elevation is 13.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 6,002 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. One ILS approach is published for runway 09. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives you something different.
This is a busy Class D field with a lot of mixed traffic. Noise abatement is in effect. Call the airport manager if you need the current details. Runway 27 is the preferred nighttime departure runway when winds allow. Keep the residential area one-half mile southwest of the tower in mind on departure and arrival. There are also bird hazards on and near the airport. Portions of the runway 31 run-up area west of taxiway B are not visible from the tower, so taxi and run-up discipline matters.
On field FBOs are Banyan Air Service, Signature Aviation, Atlantic Aviation and W Aviation. They carry 100LL. Jet fuel grades vary by FBO. U.S. Customs is available from 0800 to 2359. The customs ramp is closed to arriving aircraft from 0000 to 0800. If you are planning a late arrival or an international stop, verify the current procedures with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
