About Melbourne Orlando International Airport

Overview

Melbourne Orlando International Airport serves Florida's Space Coast region, strategically located near NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The medium-sized airport handles diverse aviation operations with three paved runways ranging from 3,001 to 10,181 feet in length. Its proximity to Orlando and coastal Florida makes it a significant regional aviation hub.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 83.3% of the time, with marginal VFR occurring 11.9% of observations. The airport experiences mild temperatures averaging 21.2°C, with a broad range from 1°C to 32°C. Wind patterns are generally northerly at an average of 8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 35 knots and calm conditions present 10.4% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport sits at a low elevation of 33 feet mean sea level, characteristic of Florida's coastal terrain. All three runways have asphalt surfaces and offer consistent wind coverage, with each runway experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions. The longest runway (09R/27L) at 10,181 feet provides substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

Winter months (November, January, December) offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions. Average crosswinds remain relatively modest at 4.8 knots across all runways. Visibility typically exceeds 9.5 statute miles, with limited periods of reduced visibility (below 3SM occurring only 1.4% of the time) and minimal fog presence (1.7% of observations).
