RWY 15

Orlando Apopka Airport sits in Apopka, Florida. The field elevation is 150 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 3,284 ft long and paved. There is no control tower. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. The airport is VFR only. Runway 15/33 has activated low intensity lighting controlled by CTAF. Calm wind runway is 33. The published remarks also call out a railroad near the east side of the runway environment. There is a steep dropoff near the southeast end. There is also a berm near the Runway 15 end. That makes this a field where a stabilized approach and good spacing matter.

Two on-field FBOs are listed. Orlando Apopka Airport carries 100LL and Jet A. First Landings Aviation also carries 100LL and Jet A. For IFR cancel or clearance delivery help when you cannot use FSS, Orlando Approach is the published contact. Touch-and-goes are prohibited if three or more aircraft are in the pattern. Powered paragliders also operate west of Runway 15/33, so keep an eye out in the local area.
