Orlando Executive Airport (KORL), Florida
Landing essentials
Whether you can land, whether you can refuel, and how customs works here.
Overview
Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) sits 5.8 nautical miles from downtown Orlando and handles a business aviation load that puts it in Skystar's top operational tier. The field runs two paved runways, 07/25 at 6,004 feet and 13/31 at 4,625 feet, under a full air traffic control tower staffed 0600-2200 daily. On-site CBP inspection services and a USDA compliance agreement support international arrivals, though the airport shares Orlando airspace closely with Orlando International 7.08 nm south, which shapes several of its published procedures.

Operating constraints
Orlando Executive Airport has published operating constraints in six categories: access, weight restrictions, runway notes, noise procedures, environmental and other notes.
A lit bridge on the highway located 0.5 nm south of the airport may give a false indication of the approach to runway 07 and 31.
For clearance delivery or to cancel IFR when the control tower is closed, contact Orlando Approach.
ATC radar is required when ILS approaches to runway 7 at this airport and ILS approaches to runways 17 and 18R at Orlando International are conducted simultaneously.
A CBP office is located on site and operates PPR; contact the office in advance. Be alert that the CBP box located on the east ramp is restricted.
This is an executive airport; VFR arrivals and departures should exercise caution due to small and heavy turbo-jet aircraft transiting the airport traffic area at 2,000 feet and above on approach to Orlando International, 5.6 nm south.
Aircraft over 100,000 pounds require prior permission; contact the airport manager.
Lighting is pilot-controlled when the control tower is closed. Activate MALSR on runway 07; REIL on runways 25, 13, and 31; HIRL on runway 07/25 and 13/31; taxiway lights via CTAF. PAPI on runways 7, 25, 13, and 31 operates continuously.
Banner towing operations occur south of runway 07/25.
This is a noise-sensitive airport. When the control tower is closed, runway 07 is the preferred noise abatement runway, weather permitting. Voluntary restraint from touch-and-go operations is requested from 2300 to 0700.
Wildlife activity in the vicinity of the airport.
Aircraft taxiing on the south half of the west ramp are restricted to ADG1.
The portion of taxiway E between taxiway D and E5 is a non-movement area.
Call boxes are marked near the entrances to the west, north, and east ramps.
Aircraft equipped with weather modification or geoengineering equipment must provide 24-hour advance notice or immediate reporting upon landing; contact Airport Operations.

Frequently asked questions
What is the CBP setup at KORL?
Orlando Executive Airport has CBP inspection services available on site, supported by a USDA compliance agreement, so international flights can clear customs at the field itself rather than diverting elsewhere. The airport remarks note the office operates PPR, meaning prior arrangement is required before arrival. There is also a separate CBP box located on the east ramp that is restricted, and crews are advised to be alert to that distinction. Contacting the CBP office ahead of landing is the standard practice for clearance planning at KORL.
Are there weight restrictions for aircraft operating at KORL?
Yes, aircraft over 100,000 pounds require prior permission at Orlando Executive Airport. The published remark directs operators to contact the airport manager before planning such a flight. This threshold applies regardless of runway choice, since both runways at KORL fall under the same general operating rules. Dispatchers planning heavier jet or cargo movements into KORL should build this coordination step into their planning rather than assuming unrestricted access.
What noise abatement procedures apply at KORL?
Orlando Executive Airport is designated a noise-sensitive airport. When the control tower is closed, runway 07 is the preferred noise abatement runway, subject to wind and weather permitting. The airport also asks for voluntary restraint from touch-and-go operations between 2300 and 0700 local. These procedures are not mandatory restrictions but published expectations that operators are asked to follow when conditions allow.
What lighting is available at KORL when the tower is closed?
When the control tower at Orlando Executive Airport is closed, pilots activate field lighting themselves. This includes MALSR on runway 07, REIL on runways 25, 13, and 31, and HIRL on both runway 07/25 and 13/31. Taxiway lighting is also pilot-controlled through the CTAF. PAPI is installed on all four runway ends, 7, 25, 13, and 31, and operates continuously regardless of tower status.
What should crews know about the traffic environment around KORL?
Orlando Executive Airport sits close to Orlando International, only 7.08 nautical miles to the south, and VFR arrivals and departures should exercise caution for small and heavy turbo-jet aircraft transiting the KORL traffic area at 2,000 feet and above on approach to Orlando International. Radar service is also required when ILS approaches to KORL runway 7 and Orlando International runways 17 and 18R are conducted simultaneously. Wildlife activity in the vicinity of the airport is separately noted in airport remarks. A lit bridge on the highway 0.5 nm south of the airport can additionally give a false approach indication for runway 07 and 31.
