- OCF Airport Overview
Ocala International Airport OCF, located in Ocala, Central Florida, has not had commercial airline service since the early 1980s, and, due to its current runway length and strength and competing airports like Gainesville, Orlando and Tampa, it is not likely that scheduled air service will return. However, OCF's facilities were expanded over the years and many other improvements had been made and are still being made, while Ocala City intends to concentrate on operating the airport as a general aviation facility, improving the current infrastructures to levels designed to accommodate air cargo and other large non-scheduled aviation flights. The following is an update on present airport improvements:
The runway, safety area and taxiway improvements are in the final stages of completion. Following FAA flight check, the ILS will re-enter service after nearly a year shutdown. After completion, the airport will have a standard safety area north of runway 18 threshold, taxiways that can more safely accommodate a B-727 and DC-8 jets at both runway ends, and interim runway markings until Runway 18-36 is resurfaced (FY 2008).
The pavement extension south of the Runway 36 threshold has a displaced threshold based on safety area requirements. For those pilots, particularly multi-engine ones, the displaced threshold provides the same Accelerated Stop Distance Available (ASDA) that Runways 18 and 36 would have had, if the localizer and crosswind R-8/26 were not present.
Takeoff Run Available (TORA) - Runway 18 - 7,467 feet; Runway 36 -7,467 feet
Takeoff Distance Available (TODA) - Runway 18 - 7,467 feet; Runway 36 - 7,467 feet
