LAKELAND, FL

April 13-April 19, 2026

PREFLIGHT PLANNING & SAFETY INFORMATION

Pilots are expected to adhere to all published LAL arrival and departure procedures and ATC instructions. Failure to do so may jeopardize your safety and the safety of others.

Aircraft not equipped with an air-to-ground radio (NORDO) must land at an airport within approximately thirty (30) minutes of LAL, call Lakeland Tower at 863-834-3335, and receive ATC approval for arrival. Specific routes and runway assignments will be issued based on traffic and weather conditions.

To ensure clear and concise communications with ATC, pilots are asked to carry a copy of the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo Domestic Notice aboard their aircraft.

All VFR departures requesting airborne activation of IFR flight plans or VFR flight following in the central Florida area should use published procedures. (See: IFR Pick Up/VFR Flight Following)

When weather at LAL or along your route of flight is marginal VFR, it is strongly suggested that you file IFR from your departure airport and receive your IFR clearance and departure release on the ground. Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville Approaches may be unable to issue IFR pick-up clearances due to traffic volume and complexity.

When traffic volume is low, Air Traffic frequencies and positions may be combined. Ground Air Traffic Operational Remote (GATOR) and flagmen positions may not be staffed. Continue to follow ATC instructions.

Due to the large number of departures after the daily airshow, arrival traffic is normally not accepted until 30-45 minutes after the airshow ends. Check arrival ATIS to determine when the airport is reopened.

Do NOT plan to arrive or depart after night airshows. The airport is closed to SUN ‘n FUN traffic.

Do rock your wings for airborne acknowledgments.

Do NOT make unnecessary radio transmissions when procedures state, “Monitor the frequency only.”

LAKE PARKER VFR ARRIVAL PROCEDURES

General Information

This procedure is to be used by all VFR aircraft landing at LAL during the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo (except those using the Warbird South, Ultralight, Choppertown, Paradise City, or NORDO arrivals).

The procedure starts at Fantasy of Flight (FA08/VPFSY). It can be supplemented by the “Middle of Nowhere Transition” to Fantasy of Flight. Pilots then follow established procedures to Lake Parker. It requires visual navigation and can be supplemented by VFR Waypoints. ATC at Lake Parker controls traffic flow and assigns landing runway at LAL.

Planning

Plan your arrival to avoid airport closure periods such as the daily airshows listed above, allowing ample time to park before the daily airport closures.

Aircraft incapable of maintaining 100 knots should plan to arrive at Lake Parker between 0700-0730 EDT, if practicable, to reduce airborne holding and delays.

Plan your fuel load carefully. If you do not have sufficient fuel for unexpected holding and possible landing go-arounds, divert to an alternate. If your fuel status is critical, notify ATC immediately.

Approaching Arrival Starting Point

Ensure lights are on within 40 miles of LAL. Leave your transponder on throughout the approach.

Tune to Arrival ATIS no later than 60 miles from LAL and note the arrival runway in use. Then monitor Lake Parker Arrival on 124.5

All aircraft maintain 100 knots, at 1,200 feet MSL. Aircraft unable to safely slow to this speed should maintain 150 knots at 1,700 MSL. Twins at 2,200 MSL. Aircraft incapable of maintaining 100 knots should operate at maximum cruising speed.

MIDDLE OF NOWHERE Transition (When Directed by Air Traffic Via ATIS or Lake Parker Arrival Frequency)

Begin the procedure at Middle of Nowhere (VPMNO), which is located 8 NM NW of Fantasy of Flight (FA08/VPFSY). Depart VPMNO southbound following Hwy 33 until reaching Fantasy of Flight (FA08/VPFSY). Real-time changes to the starting point (FA08/VPMNO or VPFSY) may be made on the Lake Parker Approach Frequency. Expect heavy air traffic in this area.

Pick out an aircraft of similar type and speed to follow. Remain at least ½ mile in trail behind the aircraft you are following. Do not overtake another aircraft. Do not “S-turn” to follow another aircraft, instead break off the procedure and proceed to the starting point and follow another aircraft of similar speed.

All aircraft maintain 100 knots, at 1,200 feet MSL, approaching Lake Parker. Aircraft unable to safely slow to this speed should maintain 150 knots at 1,700 feet. Twins at 2,200 MSL. Aircraft incapable of maintaining 100 knots should operate at maximum cruising speed.

Fantasy of Flight Starting Point

Fly to Fantasy of Flight (FA08)/VPFSY) (located North of I-4 and East of Lake Agnes), from the North, Northeast, East or Southeast.

Fantasy of Flight

Pick out an aircraft of similar type and speed to follow. Remain at least ½ mile in-trail behind the aircraft you are following. Do not overtake another aircraft. Do not “S-turn” to follow another aircraft, instead break off the procedure and proceed to the starting point and follow another aircraft of similar speed.

All aircraft maintain 100 knots, at 1,200 feet MSL, approaching Lake Parker. Aircraft unable to safely slow to this speed should maintain 150 knots at 1,700 feet. Twins at 2,200 MSL

From Fantasy of Flight (FA08)/VPFSY) fly 2.81 NM southwest bound towards SUNTRAX Test Facility (East on Hwy 570).

SUNTRAX Test Facility

Fly over the SUNTRAX Test Facility and continue towards the North Shore of Lake Parker (VPKER).

Lake Parker

At Lake Parker, ensure landing lights are ON and landing gear is DOWN.

Fly westbound over the north shore of Lake Parker. The North Shore Smokestack with white strobe lights is located at the north side of Lake Parker. Fly westbound directly over the smokestack.

ATC will contact you in the vicinity of Lake Parker’s north shore, using your aircraft “color” and “type” to provide sequencing and other arrival information.

LISTEN TO ATC.

ATC may ask you to “rock your wings” as an acknowledgment of instructions. Do not transmit unless requested by ATC or if you have an emergency.

Remain in trail to the airport. No side-by-side.

From the north shore, depart the smokestack flying westbound. You will see baseball fields to your south. Follow the road north of the baseball fields.

Continue westbound for approximately one-half nautical mile toward the intersection of Interstate I-4 and a four-lane road. When over 1-4 Monitor Lakeland Tower North 135.225.

At the intersection of Interstate I-4 and the four-lane road, turn southwest following Interstate I-4 for approximately three (3) nautical miles until you reach the golf course. LAL is approximately 3.5 nautical miles south of you.

LISTEN for ATC instructions. Execute the southbound turn based on the runway in use as published below.

If runway 10L in use, turn southbound over the CAKE shaped water tower and fly towards the large V-shaped building.

If runway 28R in use, turn southbound over the GOLF BALL shaped tower and fly towards the Air Traffic Control Tower.

Turn a close in downwind in the vicinity of Drane Field Road.

Remain single file.

TRAFFIC PATTERN

RWY 10L/28R is a narrow strip 75 feet wide (which is usually a taxiway) marked with a green and orange dot. RWY 10L landing distances: orange dot 3173 FT, green dot 4672 FT. RWY 28R landing distances: orange dot 5311 FT, green dot 3812 FT.

Be alert for special events and fly-by aircraft using the main runway with opposite-direction base leg entries. Expect numerous aircraft in the fly-by pattern and other operations at/below 2000 FT MSL south of RWY 10R/28L.

Do not deviate south of RWY 10R/28L in the event of a go-around.

Downwind:

If runway 10L in use, when crossing the V-shaped building fly directly toward the blue-roofed terminal building. Plan to turn downwind prior to the blue-roofed terminal building in the vicinity of Drane Field Road.

If runway 28R in use, fly directly towards the Air Traffic Control Tower, plan a close downwind in the vicinity of Drane Field Road.

RWY 10L or 28R: The displaced thresholds are indicated by banners on each side of the runways. If you require the full length (8500 FT), advise the tower.

Short Final: If landing RWY 10L/28R, you may be instructed by the tower controller to land on either the GREEN or the ORANGE dot.

LANDING

Do NOT land on the main (wide) RWY 10R/28L unless specifically instructed by ATC.

Do NOT stop on the runway. High-speed taxi to the end of the runway or follow ATC instructions.

AFTER TOUCHDOWN

Park only where directed. Due to congestion, you may be asked to temporarily stop your aircraft.

Do NOT leave your aircraft until you have reached your final parking spot and have tied your aircraft down.

Select 121.5 prior to radio shutdown to detect inadvertent activation of ELT.

LAke Parker VFR HOLDING ProcedureS

VFR HOLDING

If VFR holding is necessary, ATC will instruct aircraft over the NORTH SHORE SMOKESTACK of Lake Parker to turn RIGHT and proceed northbound to I-4, then follow I-4 NORTHEAST back to the starting point at Fantasy of Flight (FA08/VPFSY) and start the Lake Parker VFR Arrival Procedure again.

When holding, maintain 1,200 FT MSL/100 knots or less, 1,700 FT MSL/150 knots, or 2,200 FT MSL (twin-engine aircraft) regardless of airspeed. Aircraft incapable of maintaining 100 knots should operate at maximum cruising speed.

If you are following an aircraft, continue single file back to the starting point.

ATC will determine when the holding pattern becomes saturated and will not allow new aircraft to join the procedure. If you are not established on the Lake Parker Arrival Procedure when ATC determines the hold is saturated, DO NOT begin the procedure. Hold VFR on your own well outside of the Lake Parker Arrival Procedure until ATC advises you to begin the procedure. Use caution for other aircraft.

When LAL resumes arrivals, aircraft will be directed to continue the procedure when over the NORTH SHORE SMOKESTACK.

VFR HOLDING AT LAKE PARKER (ATC Discretion)

If necessary, ATC will instruct aircraft to turn left and proceed southbound over the west shore of Lake Parker. Hold counterclockwise around the lakeshore. Rejoin the procedure at the North Shore Smokestack. If you are not following another aircraft around Lake Parker, pick out an aircraft to follow along the procedure from the North Shore Smokestack.

Maintain 1,200 FT MSL/100 knots or less, 1,700 FT MSL/150 knots, or 2,200 FT MSL (twin-engine aircraft) regardless of airspeed. Aircraft incapable of maintaining 100 knots should operate at maximum cruising speed.

LAKELAND VFR DEPARTURES

If LAL is IFR, taxi is prohibited without an IFR clearance.

Prior to engine start, place a sign in your windshield with the letters “VFR” to show that you intend to depart VFR.

Before taxiing, monitor Lakeland Departure ATIS on 118.025 for taxi information.

When ready to taxi, do not contact Lakeland Ground. Follow the SUN ‘n FUN volunteer flagman’s directions to the advertised active runway. Expect lengthy taxi times and routes due to traffic volume.

NOTE: TAXIWAY D IS NEVER USED FOR ARRIVALS OR DEPARTURES. Departure approvals are only issued by Air Traffic Controllers, not SUN ‘n FUN volunteer flagman.

Hold short of the runway and monitor the applicable tower frequency.

Departing RWY 10L/28R monitor 133.125.

Departing RWY 10R/28L monitor 127.850.

FAA air traffic controllers on elevated platforms “GATORs” near runway departure points will clear all aircraft for takeoff via the applicable departure frequency.

After departure, proceed straight out for three (3) miles before proceeding on course. Avoid Lake Parker and Lake Hancock. Heavy air traffic east and north east of Lake Parker at or below 2200 FT MSL inbound to the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo.

Be alert for numerous aircraft departing, particularly after 1700 EDT, and for arrival traffic from the north. Use caution for special flight activity south of the airport and parachute jumping at the Zephyrhills Airport (ZPH) and Blackwater Creek Ultralight Airport (9FD2).

WARBIRD SOUTH ARRIVALS

CONTACT Lakeland Tower on 126.675, 10 NM South of LAL.

Approach the airport from the south and enter a mid-field downwind for RWY 10R or 28L as instructed. Remain AT OR ABOVE 2,500 FT MSL until turning a wide base leg to at least a three (3) mile final.

Expect a high volume of traffic for RWY 10L/28R from opposite-direction base legs.

After exiting, and south of RWY 10R/28L, contact SUN ‘n FUN Ground Advisory on 126.075. Note: SUN ‘n FUN Ground Advisory may not be monitored at all times.

Use caution for numerous aircraft operating South of RWY 10R/28L at and below 2000 FT MSL.

IMPORTANT – RWY 10R has a displaced threshold. Advise the tower if you require the full length (8500FT).

CHOPPERTOWN VFR ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE

Approach the airport from the southeast at or below 500 feet MSL.

Announce call sign, location, and intentions on Helicopter Advisory frequency 123.025.

Example: “N1234, 3 South on the Helicopter arrival.”

Remain in the helicopter corridor. Remain east of the large hangars to avoid the Paradise City flight pattern.

Park in the grass North of Taxiway E.

Remain East of TWY S at all times. Yield to taxiing aircraft.

Helicopters may not depart/arrive during airport closures.

All pilots must attend a briefing prior to departure from Choppertown. Briefing times are available at the Choppertown Advisory Tower. If applicable, pilots should plan to carry their wheels onboard for ease of movement.

PARADISE CITY ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE

Paradise City turf strip is 2205 FT long x 60 FT wide with displaced thresholds on each end. The LDA for RWY 8 is 1845 ft and RWY 26 is 1650 ft. A ditch runs parallel to the south side of the strip.

Inbound traffic approach LAL from the south at 650 FT MSL. Enter the pattern on the downwind leg at a forty-five (45) degree angle.

Avoid South Lakeland Airport (X49) 3.5 NM SW of LAL due to extensive aircraft activity. Be alert for heavy traffic in the airspace surrounding LAL. Use caution for helicopter operations at the same altitudes just east of Paradise City.

Do NOT fly north of the Paradise City turf strip or east of Airside Center Drive.

Monitor Paradise City Advisory frequency 123.825 with enough time to receive advisories. Note: The frequency is for airport advisory information and pilot communications. It is NOT intended/authorized for Air Traffic Control clearances, sequencing, or separation of aircraft.

All pilots must attend a pilot briefing prior to departure from Paradise City. Briefing times are available in the Paradise City main tent.

**Paradise City is limited to Ultralight Aircraft (14 CFR 103), Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA), Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (ELSA), and Homebuilt rotorcraft (Ultralight or Experimental).

VFR daytime operations only. **

IFR PROCEDURES

Special air traffic procedures are effective for IFR aircraft operating to/from the following airports:

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Traffic Management Initiatives will be used when arrival rates exceed airport capacity. Pilots should prepare for potential airborne holding, reroutes, or Expect Departure Clearance Times (EDCT’s) issued for domestic IFR arrivals.

Heavy demand periods are expected: DAILY 0700 - 1859 EDT (1100 - 2359 UTC)

IFR TRAFFIC

Due to traffic congestion and ARTCC radar limitations, southbound traffic filed over CHS via V1 should request 8,000 feet or above. Traffic filed V1 at 6,000 feet and below will be rerouted via V437.

Duplicate flight plans (same time/call sign) to multiple airport destinations are subject to removal.

Do NOT request air-filed flight plans or make airborne destination changes to/from the airports listed. Except in an emergency, requests will not be accepted within 200NM of LAL.

NOTE - Please be familiar with the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo Lake Parker Arrival and Departure Procedures.

IFR PREFERRED ARRIVAL ROUTES

IFR arrivals through Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZJX ARTCC) file via the following routes:

IFR ARRIVALS

When LAL ceiling and visibility are reported at or above 3000 feet and five (5) miles, plan to cancel IFR and expect a vector to the vicinity of Lake Parker for a VFR approach following the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo Lake Parker Arrival Procedures.

Jet aircraft are NOT recommended over Lake Parker. Expect ATC vectors to final RWY 10R/28L.

IFR DEPARTURES

File your flight plan at least four (4) hours prior to the proposed departure time. IFR flight plans not activated will expire ninety (90) minutes after the proposed departure time.

Prior to engine start, place a sign in your windshield with the letters “IFR” to show you intend to depart IFR.

Monitor ATIS on 118.025. IFR departures will be instructed via ATIS to contact Ground Control on 121.4.

Contact Lakeland Ground as instructed for clearance. Do NOT taxi until you receive enroute clearance. If you have not received initial departure instructions prior to reaching the runway, attempt to taxi your aircraft to a position that will allow other VFR aircraft to pass for departure.

Do NOT accept the FAA flagman’s instructions to enter the runway or take off unless you have received departure release from Ground Control.

IFR OVERFLIGHTS

IFR overflight traffic at and below 15,000 feet MSL expect routing to avoid congested areas.

IFR PICK UP/VFR FLIGHT FOLLOWING

Procedures for Lakeland area airports include:

IMPORTANT- When weather at LAL or along your route of flight is marginal VFR, it is strongly suggested that you FILE IFR off your departure airport and receive your IFR clearance/departure release on the ground. Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville Approaches may not be able to issue IFR pick-up clearances due to traffic volume and complexity.

Destinations to the Northeast and East coast through Orlando Approach: Orlando Approach is unable to retrieve flight plan information or activate IFR clearances for aircraft requesting an IFR pick up that file off the Lakeland area airports. Aircraft departing VFR from the LAL area destined to the east coast or northeast must file a flight plan showing CAMBE intersection or X61 (Bob White Airport) as their departure point in order to receive airborne IFR clearance. Enter AIRFILE or IFR PICK UP in the remarks section of the flight plan. MONITOR first then contact Orlando Approach at or below 4,500 feet on 119.4. Remain clear of Orlando Class B airspace.

Destinations to the North or Northwest through Jacksonville Approach: Jacksonville Approach is unable to retrieve flight plan information or activate IFR clearances for aircraft requesting an IFR pick up that file off the Lakeland area airports. Aircraft departing VFR from the LAL area destined to the north or northwest must file a flight plan showing either CGC (Crystal River Airport) or INF (Inverness Airport) as their departure point in order to receive airborne IFR clearance. Enter AIRFILE or IFR PICK UP in the remarks section of the flight plan. Approximately ten (10) miles south of CGC/INF, MONITOR first then contact Jacksonville Approach at or below 9,500 feet on 120.925.

Departing from a Lakeland area airport through Tampa Approach: Tampa Approach may be unable to issue an IFR pick up clearance due to heavy traffic volume if you depart VFR from one of the Lakeland area airports. Due to anticipated frequency congestion, aircraft not complying with these procedures should NOT expect to receive airborne IFR pickup clearance or VFR flight following until north of the Florida/Georgia border.
