About Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport
Overview
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in the Greater Miami metropolitan area, situated at 13 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical general aviation infrastructure for the southeast Florida region, offering two paved runways that accommodate various aircraft types and operational needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions at this airport, with 87.7% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Northeast winds averaging 7.2 knots prevail, creating consistently stable atmospheric conditions. Temperature ranges from 7°C to 34°C, with an average of 24.9°C, and excellent visibility averaging 9.8 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: Runway 09/27 at 6,001 feet and Runway 13/31 at 4,000 feet. Both runways demonstrate extremely favorable wind alignments, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind conditions (3.9-4.9 knots). The low elevation of 13 feet MSL indicates a coastal plain environment typical of southeast Florida.
Approach Considerations
November through January represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Both runways offer excellent wind alignment, with Runway 09/27 showing marginally lower average crosswind at 3.9 knots compared to Runway 13/31's 4.9 knots. Pilots should anticipate predominantly northeast winds and prepare for generally stable approach conditions.
