Frequently asked questions
Does X07 (Lake Wales Municipal) have on-site customs clearance?
Lake Wales Municipal does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs facility is KLAL, located 21.84 nautical miles away. Operators arriving from outside the United States should plan to clear customs at KLAL before or after a stop at X07. There is no indication of any customs arrangement at Lake Wales Municipal itself, so international arrivals need to route their clearance through the nearby facility.
What runways are available at Lake Wales Municipal (X07)?
Lake Wales Municipal offers two paved asphalt runways. Runway 06/24 is the longer of the pair at 5,400 feet by 100 feet wide, matching the airport's published max paved length. Runway 17/35 measures 3,860 feet by 75 feet wide. Both runways are asphalt surfaces, giving operators a choice of alignment depending on wind conditions at this non-towered field.
Is fuel available at X07 Lake Wales Municipal, and when?
Lake Wales Municipal stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Fuel is available on a 24-hour basis through credit card self-service, according to airport remarks. The published attendance schedule for the field runs 0800 to 1700 daily. Pilots relying on after-hours fuel should use the credit card service rather than expecting staffed support outside attended hours.
What operational hazards or obstructions should pilots know about at Lake Wales Municipal (X07)?
Lake Wales Municipal has a few noted operational considerations. Ultralight aircraft activity occurs on and in the vicinity of the airport, so pilots should maintain vigilance in the pattern. Trees penetrate the transitional surface for runway 17, affecting the approach from the west side of the runway. Neither hazard is unusual for a smaller Florida general aviation field, but both warrant attention during arrival and departure planning at X07.
How does business aviation traffic vary by season at Lake Wales Municipal (X07)?
Business aviation traffic at Lake Wales Municipal is concentrated in the cooler months rather than spread evenly through the year. January and October each show the highest monthly counts, at 63 and 62 operations respectively, according to FAA TFMSC data. Summer months, particularly June through September, show noticeably lower activity, with June at 28 operations marking the annual low. This pattern reflects a clear seasonal skew toward the winter and fall shoulder months at X07.
