About Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport

Overview

Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) is a large airport located in southeastern Florida, serving the greater Miami metropolitan area. Situated at 9 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 26.072599, -80.152702, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial, cargo, and general aviation operations in South Florida.

Flying Conditions

South Florida's tropical maritime climate presents variable weather conditions for pilots, with significant humidity and potential for thunderstorm development, particularly during summer months. The airport's low elevation and coastal proximity mean wind conditions can change rapidly, with prevailing winds typically influencing runway 10/28 operations.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel asphalt runways: 10L/28R at 9,000 feet and 10R/28L at 8,000 feet, providing flexible approach and departure options for various aircraft types. Its proximity to the Atlantic coast creates potential for wind shear and turbulence, particularly during seasonal weather transitions and afternoon convective developments.

Approach Considerations

Runway selections will primarily depend on current wind direction, with the parallel 10/28 runways offering standard west/east approaches. Pilots should anticipate potential wind gradient effects due to the airport's low coastal elevation and be prepared for rapid meteorological changes characteristic of the subtropical Florida environment.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
