About Orlando International Airport
Overview
Orlando International Airport (KMCO) is a major commercial airport serving the Orlando metropolitan area in central Florida. Located at coordinates 28.429399, -81.308998, the airport sits at an elevation of 96 feet mean sea level and is a critical transportation hub for passenger and cargo operations in the region. Its strategic location and substantial infrastructure make it a significant airport in the southeastern United States.
Flying Conditions
Central Florida's subtropical climate produces variable weather conditions that pilots must carefully monitor. Summer months typically feature frequent afternoon thunderstorms and potential convective activity, which can impact approach and departure procedures. The airport's four runways (17L/35R, 17R/35L, 18L/36R, and 18R/36L) with lengths ranging from 9,000 to 12,005 feet provide multiple options for landing and takeoff under different wind and weather conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features four substantial runways with varying surface compositions: two concrete (CON) and two asphalt (ASP) runways. Its longest runways, 18L/36R and 18R/36L, both exceed 12,000 feet, which accommodates a wide range of aircraft types from regional commuters to large international wide-body jets. The varied runway configuration allows for flexible operations and provides alternatives during challenging meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation suggests prevailing wind patterns typically favor north-south approaches, with 18/36 runways being primary. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions and be prepared to utilize the multiple runway options based on current meteorological data. The airport's multiple runway lengths and surface types offer significant operational flexibility for different aircraft categories and approach requirements.
