When the previous aspects of airport development come together, the airport functions at its optimum level. Pilots experience this firsthand as the airport’s primary users. Each year the FDOT Aviation Office produces a directory of Florida’s public airports and includes information regarding their services and facilities. Explore a current digital version of this airport’s information below.

The airport data shown below came from annual public airport inspection and licensing records, private airport registration, and data provided by airport owners and managers. In matters of navigation, landing, and other critical flight decisions, we urge you to refer to the latest information available from sources such as the:

The FDOT makes no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy of information and expressly disclaims liability for the accuracy thereof.

Pursuant to Section 330.30(2), FS, FDOT inspects public aviation facilities prior to licensing or license renewal. These facilities are inspected annually by the FDOT Aviation Office; however, FDOT may choose to accept the annual inspections performed by FAA Southern Region personnel at facilities having a FAA Part 139 Certificate. Public Aviation facilities are inspected based on requirements set forth in Section 14-60.007, FAC. These requirements ensure safety for aircraft and protect public health, safety, and welfare. Following each inspection, an inspection record is developed that codifies the findings of the inspection based on the standards set forth in Section 14-60.007, FAC. Based on the outcome of the inspection, an airport license can be issued. The below information highlights some of the key findings of this airport’s most recent annual inspection.

1. Runway 09/27 is available for precision instrument, non-precision instrument, and visual approaches.

Pavement condition is assessed utilizing the pavement condition index (PCI) methodology as defined by the FAA. The PCI methodology provides a means for systematically assessing pavement condition and provides an indication of the degree of maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, or reconstruction efforts required to sustain functional pavement conditions. Pavement deterioration is characterized in terms of distinct distress types, distress severity levels, and quantity of distress. This information is utilized to calculate a PCI value ranging from 0 to 100, which provides an indication of the overall condition of the pavement, with “100” indicating a pavement in new condition and “0” indicating a failed pavement section. This is graphically depicted when you hover over each icon below. This information is summarized from the most recently completed FDOT Statewide Airfield Pavement Management Program (SAPMP), as published in 2022.

Pursuant to Section 332.006, FS, the Statewide Airfield Pavement Management Program (SAPMP) schedules inspections of pavements at participating airports on approximately a three-year cycle. Data from these inspections is compiled into detailed reports of each airport’s pavement condition alongside the associated maintenance and rehabilitation needs and cost estimates for those actions. In addition to the participating airport sponsors receiving Individual Airport Pavement Evaluation reports, the SAPMP produces District Pavement Management Summary Reports for the seven (7) FDOT districts and a Statewide Airfield Pavement Management Program Summary Report. The summary reports are intended to provide an overview of the needs of the overall Florida Aviation System. These reports are provided below.

Apart from providing air travel, the figures below represent one of the most important impacts of Florida airports on their communities. The FDOT Aviation Office periodically commissions Statewide Aviation Economic Impact Studies (AEIS) to quantify and communicate the contributions of Florida’s airports and aviation industry at local, regional (FDOT District), and statewide levels. The most recent project, the 2022 Statewide Aviation Economic Impact Study (2022 AEIS) is an update to the previously completed 2019 AEIS and includes quantitative results, qualitative case studies, and real-life stories that justify continued investment for the robust aviation system in the Sunshine State.

Based on the planning documents provided on the previous page, specific infrastructure development projects are strategically planned and executed. To support this, the Department has developed the Five-Year Work Program in accordance with section 339.135 Florida Statutes. The development of the Work Program involves extensive coordination with local governments, including Metropolitan Planning Organizations and other city and county officials. The Department bases the Work Program on sound, multi-modal transportation concepts and the best available forecasts of costs and funding. As such, the Department has the financial capacity to embark on projects as they are planned. However, any diversion of state revenues presently dedicated to transportation-related purposes could limit the Department’s ability to finance and deliver projects in the Work Program.

The Department is committed to the policy of implementing projects as scheduled in the Work Program, minimizing changes to the plan, and ensuring appropriate communication of any necessary changes as they occur. Please explore this airport’s planned and recently completed projects below. For more information on how FDOT supports the continued maintenance of the projects they fund, please visit the Licensing Inspections and Pavement Inspections tabs.

To achieve such a positive impact on their communities, Florida airports rely on a process of careful planning and development. Airport master plans are comprehensive long-term plans that outline the development and expansion of an airport over a specified period. Airport layout plans (ALPs) are detailed technical drawings that depict the physical layout and configuration of an airport – both current and future. Planning documents such as these lay the groundwork for a well-organized, efficient, and future-ready airport. They are used by airport operators, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders involved in the planning, design, and construction of airport facilities. The final element of a master plan is a detailed capital improvement plan that outlines the projects needed to maintain and expand the airport. More information on FDOT’s funding support of Florida’s airports can be found on the next tab. Explore this airport’s recent planning documents below.
