PREFLIGHT PLANNING & SAFETY INFORMATION  Pilots are REQUIRED 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.

 No Radio (NORDO) aircraft are NOT AUTHORIZED (except Paradise City Ultralight/LSA/Homebuilt Rotorcraft)  To insure clear and concise communications with ATC, pilots are requested to CARRY A COPY OF THE SUN ‘N FUN NOTAM 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 Lakeland 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.

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

 There will be AIRPORT CLOSURES, RUNWAY CLOSURES, TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS, and HOT AIR BALLOON launches that may affect your flight. Pilots should check LOCAL and FDC NOTAMs frequently for current information.

 Pilots are reminded to OBTAIN ATC CLEARANCE PRIOR TO ENTERING CLASS B AIRSPACE around Tampa and Orlando.

 Due to the large number of departures after the airshow each day, arrival traffic is not normally accepted until 1830 EDT (2230 UTC). Check the arrival ATIS to determine when the airport is reopened.

 Do NOT plan to ARRIVE OR DEPART AFTER THE NIGHT AIRSHOW. The airport is closed and south side taxiways are blocked.  DO rock your wings with GUSTO for airborne acknowledgements.  DO NOT make unnecessary radio transmissions where procedures clearly state “monitor the frequency only”.

IFR PROCEDURES In anticipation of a large number of aircraft traveling to and from the Lakeland area for the Sun ’n Fun Fly-In, special air traffic procedures will be used to enhance safety and minimize air traffic delays.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Traffic management initiatives will be utilized when arrival rates exceed airport capacity. Pilots should be prepared for potential airborne holding, reroutes, or Expect Departure Clearance Times (EDCT’s) that may be issued for all domestic IFR arrivals to the following airports:

AIRPORT IDENTIFIER

Lakeland Linder Regional Airport LAL

Plant City Municipal Airport PCM

Bartow Municipal Airport BOW

Lake Wales Municipal Airport X07

Winter Haven Gilbert Airport GIF

Heavy demand and traffic management initiatives may be expected during the following dates/times:

DAILY Tuesday, April 1- Sunday, April 6, 2014

0700 - 1959 EDT (1100 - 2359 UTC)

Traffic management initiatives for this event are designed to provide equitable airspace access. To maintain program integrity and minimize delays, airborne changes of destination to above listed airports will not be accepted within 200nm of destination, except in emergency situations. Duplicate flight plans (same time/call sign) to multiple airport destinations are subject to removal from the system.

IFR TRAFFIC

April 1- April 6

Due to increased over flight traffic along the southeastern coast 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. Air files and changes of destination from airborne flights to LAL, PCM, BOW, X07 and GIF will not be accepted except in emergency situations.

NOTE-

Please be familiar with the Sun ’n Fun – Lake Parker Arrival and Departure Procedures.

~ 28 ~

IFR ARRIVALS Be prepared to cancel IFR and to enter a VFR traffic pattern for landing sequence. When the ceiling and visibility at Lakeland are reported at or above 3,000 feet and five (5) miles, expect a vector to the vicinity of Lake Parker for a VFR approach, following published Sun ’n Fun – Lake Parker Arrival Procedures.

Jet aircraft are not recommended over Lake Parker. Expect ATC vectors to final Runway 9R/27L. Be extremely alert for a high volume of traffic with a wide variance of performance characteristics operating in the vicinity of Lakeland. Pilots retaining IFR clearance until landing must contact Tampa Approach on 120.65 after exiting the runway to cancel their IFR clearance.

IFR DEPARTURES

File your flight plan at least four (4) hours prior to proposed departure time. IFR flight plans not activated will expire ninety (90) minutes after proposed departure time. Prior to engine start, place a sign in your windshield with the letters “IFR” to indicate to the flagmen you intend to depart IFR.

Monitor ATIS on 118.025 MHz. Lakeland IFR departures will be instructed via ATIS to contact Lakeland Ground Control on 127.1 MHz or 121.4 MHz. Contact Lakeland Ground Control as instructed for clearance. DO NOT TAXI until enroute clearance is received. 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.
